NSERC now requires an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) statement on its applications and CIHR wants to know how you are incorporating sex and gender into your research but most faculty don't even know what EDI is. 

Join Prof. Lisa Willis for a seminar on including EDI into your grants, reference letters, hiring practices and managing trainees.

Faculty members, Research staff, Safety Office staff, Research Ethics staff, and Information Systems & Technology staff involved in research using biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear materials or technology are invited to join Public Safety Canada (PSC) for the Safeguarding science workshop.

Join the Waterloo Centre for Microbial Research for a series of talks by Faculty of Science Profs. Moira Glerum and Kesen Ma and research scientist Christina Smeaton. They will be discussing the "Many Metabolisms of Microbes".

UN-Water's World Water Day tackles the water crisis by addressing the reasons why so many are being left behind. On this day, the Water Institute will join thousands from around the world in solidarity as we support and amplify World Water Day events and initiatives.

Join us for a talk from Prof. Monica Emelko, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, on "Critical Advances and Collaborative Opportunities in Water Science, Technology & Policy: One Perspective from Engineering".

The Office of Research is hosting a workshop to help faculty learn how to navigate the broad research landscape, and develop a dynamic research strategy. A variety of topics will be covered such as: grant writing, research ethics, funding strategies, and intellectual property.  

The traditional university science curriculum was designed to train specialists in specific disciplines. However, in universities all over the world, science students are going into increasingly diverse careers and the current model does not fit their needs. Advances in technology also make certain modes of learning obsolete.

The Waterloo Public Library welcomes one and all for a public lecture on diseases of the brain, featuring Dr. Dale Martin of the University of Waterloo.
