The Sexual Violence Prevention & Response Office (SVPRO) is once again bringing the What Were You Wearing? Survivor Art Exhibit to UWaterloo. The exhibit is based on student-survivor descriptions of the clothing they were wearing when they experienced sexual violence.
Quantum Innovators 2025 will take place from Monday, October 27 to Friday, October 31. Sessions will cover computer science, mathematics and theory as well as science and engineering, with participants welcome to join one or both streams.
On behalf of the Waterloo RoboHub, the Global Engagement Seminar team, and the Interdisciplinary Capstone teaching team, I would like to invite you to join us for what should be a very interesting talk!
Evan Ackerman, Senior Editor of IEEE Spectrum and one of this year's Global Engagement Seminar Jarislowski Fellows, will be giving a talk titled “Robots vs Reality: Responsible Science Communication in the Attention Economy” at 4 pm on October 21st in DC 1351. We are expecting to completely fill the room, so seating in DC 1351 will be on a first-come, first-served basis until we reach capacity. Once it is full, the main IDEAs Clinic room (E7 1427) will be used as the primary overflow space once DC 1351 is full.

Come and learn about the exciting and innovative research happening in our department!
Did you know our researchers are making new feedstocks from algae, using machine learning to solve real-world problems, making biodegradable plastics from food waste, creating synthetic vascular grafts for bypass patients, and more.
Come and chat with us and stay for the candy bar! We'd love to see you there!
Knowledge mobilization (KM) aims to bridge the gap between research and practice, ensuring that valuable insights and evidence are effectively communicated and applied in real-world settings. In this workshop, participants will learn how to apply KM concepts and tactics to improve the impact of their work.
Guest speaker:
Elanor Waslander, Knowledge Mobilization Specialist, Water Institute
Learning objectives:
Each year, the Fellowship accepts a small cohort of Canadian students (~15) with exceptional character to participate in a self-organized internship in Asia, enabled by a $10,000 scholarship. The Cansbridge experience empowers Fellows with a global and entrepreneurial mindset, and a community that lifts each other to new heights. This is the community of a lifetime.
AI systems are starting to get really useful, but they use far too much energy to be served to everyone on the planet. We are going to need to make computers a lot more efficient and produce way more energy than today. Trevor McCourt (BSc, MME, '20), CTO and co-founder of leading chipmaker Extropic, will explore how radically efficient computing can transform the trajectory of AI’s energy demands. The program also includes startup lightning talks, a feature presentation from near-zero energy chip maker Vaire, and a networking reception.
