Events

On Friday March 20, 2015, students from the Nanotechnology Engineering Program at the University of Waterloo will present their fourth year design projects at the 6th Annual Design Project Symposium.  

Twenty-four project teams will present their prototypes which include a controlled release fertilizer that can retain water, an ion thruster for microsatellites and our international design winners, Suncayr, a skin marker that can tell you when to reapply your sunscreen.

On the 19-20th November, 2020, the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) will host the “International Workshop on Nanotechnology for a Sustainable Future”. This virtual workshop will bring together world leaders in nanotechnology to address current global issues, to meet United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG) in nanotechnology & society, policy and science diplomacy, industry & innovation, energy & environment, devices for healthcare & communications, and resource management and the circular economy. 

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) has four main thematic research areas; Smart and Function Materials, Connected Devices, Next Generation Energy Systems and Therapeutics and Theranostics. To showcase the work going on within these areas, we will be holding monthly WIN Thematic Seminars featuring our members and their research group members.

Join us at the forefront of innovation and scientific discovery at the "AI for Materials Discovery" symposium on Tuesday, September 24, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Hosted by the Waterloo Artificial Intelligence Institute (Waterloo.AI) and the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN), this event promises to be a landmark occasion for all involved in the dynamic fields of Artificial Intelligence and Material Science.

This year, WIN will proudly host the Canadian Light Source (CLS) Annual Users Meeting (AUM) at the University of Waterloo on Tuesday, October 22, 2024. This is the first time the AUM will be held outside of Saskatoon, providing an excellent opportunity for the local scientific community here in Ontario to engage with this important national facility.
