WISE Lecture Series - The Impact of "Energiewende" on Renewable Energy in Germany

WISE Lecture Series - The Impact of "Energiewende" on Renewable Energy in Germany

The term ‘Energiewende’ refers to the current German effort to transition to renewable energy sources. To combat the long tradition of fossil fuel energy generation the German government established “The Renewable Energy Act” in 2000 and now offers incentives for renewable energy.
Dr. Pehlken will discuss the impact of these incentives with regards to best practice, the need for regulation and unexpected outcomes.

All are welcome, refreshments to follow. This is a free event.

Waterloo researcher looks to increase security in quantum communication

Electrical and Computer Engineering professor Michael Reimer helped to develop the first source of on-demand single time-bin entangle photon pairs with no possibility of producing extra unwanted pairs. Reimer, who is part of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), worked with a team of international researchers to complete the project.

CBB visionary lecture series: Tackling grand challenges in global health & development

The world’s challenges and targets for their solutions have recently been captured in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) which are intended to guide global action from 2015‐2030. Now, the focus is shifting from the strategy of developing and forging consensus around these goals to questions of implementation and execution regarding how these goals will be reached. In addressing this question, it is clear that innovation will be critical to reaching the SDGs.
