Teaching Innovation Incubator launches 2027 Open Call

The Teaching Innovation Incubator (TII) is inviting Waterloo faculty and staff to propose innovative teaching and learning projects for its 2027 cohort. The Open Call supports complex, collaborative and interdisciplinary ideas with the potential to advance teaching and learning at Waterloo.

Selected projects can receive up to $20,000 in funding, along with project coordination and research support, tailored resources and access to Waterloo’s EdTech Sandbox. Proposals may explore new approaches to teaching, innovative assessment practices, creative uses of educational technologies or other innovations that enhance the learning environment.

Applications are due December 1, 2026, by 11:59 p.m., with new projects beginning in Winter 2027. Faculty and staff are encouraged to consult with the TII team before submitting a proposal to confirm that their idea is eligible and in scope.
