It’s your time, be a change maker: join the Climate Innovation Discovery Stream!
The Interdisciplinary Centre on Climate Change (IC3) is excited to partner with UWaterloo's Concept and Problem Lab to launch the Climate Innovation Discovery Stream.
The Climate Innovation Discovery Stream is your chance to join the fight against climate change. Participants will gain access to resources and experts to explore specific climate change-related problems, with the goal of identifying innovative ideas and potential solutions. This 3 week program will bring students from across academic backgrounds to work together on finding ways to help reduce the harmful effects of global climate change.
This stream is open to all students and postdoctoral fellows at the University of Waterloo. You can join as an individual, or request to work with specific people. There is no experience or background knowledge required, just a desire to make an impact and enact change. Each group will work within a specific area outlined below with experts and mentors specific to these problems.
To conclude the Climate Innovation Discovery Stream, teams will present their findings and potential solutions to a panel of climate change experts. The top two teams will be selected and receive funding to help progress their ideas. The first place team will be awarded $5,000 with the second place team receiving $2,500 to help turn their climate change concepts into a reality.
