Current undergraduate students

New this term, University of Waterloo graduate students will discuss their complex systems work during a monthly seminar. Join us for a 20 minute talk, followed by a 20-minute discussion and feedback opportunity. Afterwards, everyone who is able is welcome to meet at the Graduate House for food and socializing from 6 p.m. onward. 

This month, Jude H. Kurniawan talks about 'Visualizing different perspectives of energy scenarios' on Thursday, May 16 from 4:30-5:30 in EV3 3401. We hope to see you there!

WICI Virtual Book Club: The Ministry for the Future

Thursday April 13th at 12 p.m. (Register in advance via Eventbrite)

Hosted by the Waterloo Institute for Complexity and Innovation and Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences

In "The Ministry for the Future", author Kim Stanley Robinson paints a dystopian, yet ultimately hopeful picture of our planet's next century. In this hybrid fiction/non-fiction book, Robinson hypothesizes how a combination of novel policies and major societal changes might allow humans, and the planet that houses us, to emerge positively from the climate crisis.

We invite readers to share in a discussion of Robinson's proposed resolutions to the climate crises, viewed through a complex systems lens, in advance of the upcoming WICI/Fields "Mathematics for Complex Climate Challenges" workshop which will run May 1st - 4th at the University of Waterloo.

Please join us for the Waterloo Institute for Complexity & Innovation's Open House on Wednesday, September 21st, 2022 in DC 1301 from 1 - 2:30 p.m. Network with faculty and students interested in complex systems!

• Meet WICI's Director Dr. Vanessa Schweizer and other WICI Members.
• Learn about upcoming events and initiatives.
• Light refreshments will be provided.

Join us for a WICI Webinar on Wednesday, January 6th @ 2 p.m. via Webex.
