Research2Reality is a new social media and television campaign by six of Canada’s top research institutions including the University of Waterloo that aims to bring high-impact university research to millions of Canadians.

The campaign will grow to include six public service announcements airing on the Discovery and Discovery Science channels, and looks at the ways Canadian research impacts issues that matter deeply to Canadians, including health, technology, natural resources and sustainable energy.
