The Government of Canada announced funding for several University of Waterloo faculty members through the New Frontiers Research Fund (NFRF).
There is no recipe or instruction manual for building inclusive spaces because they can never be constructed — they are cultivated. But if you ever speak to a member of the Games Institute (GI) at the University of Waterloo, they’ll share how they get to work and learn in an inclusive, judgment-free ecosystem.
A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a new machine-learning method that detects hate speech on social media platforms with 88 per cent accuracy, saving employees from hundreds of hours of emotionally damaging work.
In early June 2024, people in some parts of the world will be able to see as many as six planets lined up in the sky, an astronomical rarity. Dr. Roan Haggar, a postdoctoral fellow in the University of Waterloo's Centre for Astrophysics, tells us about the phenomenon.
