RoboHub and ESG Partners will be hosting a panel on Harnessing Robotics & AI For Climate Solutions, which aims to explore how robotics and AI can be applied to climate solutions and how a climate lens can be applied to existing robotics work in areas like healthcare to address climate threats. This event is taking place during CCWX 2025, which runs from November 24 to November 30th.

As part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series, Reza Najafi, Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Western University and head of the Hydroclimate Extremes and Climate Change Lab (HydroClimEX Lab), co-director of the Centre for Multihazard Risk and Resilience (CMRR), will present Compound flood and drought hazards in a changing climate: Implications for risk and resilience.

This event is in person in DC 1302 with a networking lunch reception to follow in DC 1301 (The Fishbowl).

Join us for a webinar presentation by Dr. Krzysztof Czarnecki on the current state of autonomous vehicles, exploring active deployments, emerging challenges and research directions. The talk will also highlight research taking place in the Waterloo Intelligent Systems Engineering (WISE) Laboratory, which co-led the development of the first autonomous vehicle tested on public roads in Canada.

Bring your class to campus for Chemical and Nanotechnology Engineering Lab Day! Students will try out hands-on activities and see how chemical and nanotechnology innovations are powering breakthroughs in sustainability, energy, and medicine. It’s a fun, interactive way to spark curiosity and show future engineers what’s possible. 

As part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series, Soumya Balasubramanya, Senior Economist at The World Bank, Washington, DC, will present "Recent trends in groundwater use in South Asia: The role of technology and water-energy-food-poverty nexus tradeoffs."

This event is in person in DC 1304 with a networking reception to follow in DC 1301 (The Fishbowl).

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly present in our lives. We see its impact on social media. We use it to translate, write emails, gain an edge on the stock market, drive cars, and even think for us. Many believe that this is just the start. Artificial Intelligence may have the power to disrupt the very foundations of how we live. One of those foundations is our country, Canada. Many of us are grateful to live in a country with an elected government, independent courts, social services, and civil liberties. In a time when the world anticipates the disruption that AI may bring, The Waterloo Forum asks, “Will AI undermine Canadian democratic institutions?”
