WIN Industry Seminar Series: Christoph A. Krettler, a Senior Data Scientist at Enveda, on January 22, 2026, 11:00 a.m. at QNC 1501.

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.

Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) invites researchers, startups, and industry partners to participate in nano tech Japan, one of the world’s largest nanotechnology exhibitions and conferences. This premier event brings together global leaders in nanoscience, materials, and advanced technologies to foster innovation and collaboration.
