Research groups
Research — one of the main functions of the university — has the potential to make post-secondary education’s largest contribution to sustainability, according to the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.
To tackle complex environmental problems, Waterloo researchers are thinking outside their disciplines. Academics from departments in all six faculties are reaching across traditional boundaries to collaborate in a search for solutions, and have formed a number of distinct research groups.
