Current graduate students

As part of the University of Waterloo’s Collaborative and Connected Research Panel Series, the October panel event highlights the development of sustainable research collaborations and interconnections occurring within and beyond departments. The panelists consist of current and former department chairs. They will discuss the various ways in which collaborative perspectives and synergies rely on a diverse array of participants to enhance innovation, knowledge, and networks, shape current research and teaching endeavours, and help to solve complex world problems.

This panel is hosted by the Office of the Vice-President, Research and International and the Faculty of Science.
