Events

WIN is excited to announce that it is hosting a Pitches and Demos event, a unique opportunity for students and industry professionals to connect and collaborate on cutting-edge nanotechnology research and innovation.

The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) are proud to jointly host this strategic workshop in collaboration with the National Research Council’s Quantum and Nanotechnologies Research Centre (QN). This event marks a significant milestone in strengthening research partnerships and advancing Canada’s leadership in quantum and nanotechnology innovation.

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) and the Waterloo Electrochemical Society (WatECS) is pleased to present Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Jürgen Janek, Professor for Physical Chemistry at Justus Liebig University in Giessen (JLU), Germany, director of the JLU Center for Materials Research and Scientific Director of the BELLA lab at KIT, Karlsruhe, for a seminar titled "Interface Design in Solid State Batteries".

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.

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.

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.

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.
