The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) and the Center for Nanointegration Duisberg-Essen (CENIDE) are pleased to present Jani Kotakoski for a joint 2D-MATURE seminar.
At Nano Tech 2026 in Tokyo, Tangho Green Canada, Yamagata University, and the University of Waterloo will present the first public demonstration of a dynamic printed force sensor on compostable NanoPaper. The interactive “electronic skin” demonstrates real-time touch sensing, marking the first commercial availability of Tangho NanoPaper as a sustainable substrate for printed electronics.
City University of Hong Kong and the University of Waterloo have launched a joint Seed Fund to support up to five collaborative projects in health and life science technologies. The program focuses on researcher and trainee mobility, pilot studies, and partnership building, with priority areas including drug discovery, diagnostics, therapeutics, aging technologies, and nanotechnology-enabled health research. Each project must include one PI from each institution and will receive up to HK$100,000 plus CAD$16,000–26,000. Proposals are due January 23, 2026, with projects running through March 31, 2027.
The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) and the Center for Nanointegration Duisberg-Essen (CENIDE) are pleased to present Professor Dr. Harry Hoster for a joint 2D-MATURE seminar.
The WIN–ICN2 Joint Seed Funding Programme has been expanded to include two additional projects, enabled by increased funding from both institutions in recognition of the high quality of proposals received. The newly funded projects—MYHEAL, focused on 3D-printed antimicrobial bandages for chronic wounds, and SHINE, which develops sustainable organic electronic transistors—were the next highest-ranked submissions. This expansion strengthens collaboration between WIN and ICN2 and supports the programme’s goal of building foundations for future international funding, including Horizon Europe.
The University of Waterloo continues to be recognized among the top universities in Canada and globally according to the 2025 Academic Ranking of World Universities subject rankings by Shanghai Ranking Consultancy. Five programs rank first in Canada while thirteen programs rank top 50 globally.
Please join us for an online information and networking session to launch the joint City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) and the University of Waterloo Seed Fund, introduce the scheme and explore mapping opportunities between the two institutions.
Dr. Yanwei Lum has been selected as the recipient of the prestigious Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) 2025 Rising Star Award.
Dr. Lum, Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering will accept this award in person at the WIN Day Talk on May 1, 2026.
The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN), and the Office of Research at the University of Waterloo, and SAE Central Ontario Section are proud to host this strategic workshop. This event brings together leaders from PowerCo Canada, the National Research Council (NRC), and the University of Waterloo - Ontario Battery and Electrochemistry Research Centre (OBEC) to share insights on the latest research, technology advancements, and production capabilities shaping the EV battery landscape.
