The University of Waterloo's Engineers Without Borders Chapter presents our Sustainable Engineering Design Challenge! If you are a high school student passionate about learning more about the engineering design process, excited about talking & learning from current engineering students & professors, and collaborating with like-minded individuals then this event is for you!

Our competition will be on March 20th from 4:30 pm - 8:00 pm where you will be competing in teams of 2-4. You can sign up with or without a team (we will place you in a team with other students). Sign up for a night of learning, innovating, competing, and most importantly, winning prizes!

Join the Interdisciplinary Centre on Climate Change for an informative discussion on the findings of Health Canada's latest national report, Health of Canadians in a Changing Climate. Lead authors, Peter Berry, Rebekka Schnitter and Paddy Enright, will reflect on the key insights from the wide-ranging report, and highlight the priority knowledge gaps facing Canadians. This will be followed by a Q&A with a panel of Waterloo's climate change and health experts who will reflect on Canada's next steps.

This session seeks to share lessons learned regarding embedding EDII into grant applications. Dr. Trevor Charles will discuss his experience embedding EDI principles to his research group and in a recent NSERC grant application.

Are you interested in quantum mechanics or cryptography?

Then check out CPI's next event on Feb 28th from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. Learn how quantum computers can create security risks and how we can mitigate them!

CPI's Michele Mosca and Sara Zafar Jafarzadeh discuss why it is important to act now, even though cryptographically-relevant quantum computers are not available.

Join us for a special edition of Research talks, "Black History is World History: From Moment to Global Movement," featuring Michaëlle Jean, University of Waterloo Chancellor, St. Paul’s University College and former Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada.

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) has four main thematic research areas; Smart and Function Materials, Connected Devices, Next Generation Energy Systems and Therapeutics and Theranostics. To showcase the work going on within these areas, we will be holding monthly WIN Thematic Seminars featuring our members and their research group members.

For this event in the series, Professor Vivek Maheshwari and postdoc Hua Fan from the Next Generation Energy Systems theme will be giving a seminar on "Electrical double layer as a medium to control material synthesis"
