Program Overview
The WIN-Velocity Scholarship, with a value equivalent to a Graduate Research Studentship (GRS) for two years, has been made possible through a financial contribution from the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) to support domestic research-based master’s students, who will be registered full time in their first year of graduate studies, in the Faculty of Engineering and/or Faculty of Science.
Eligible students must pursue commercialization and entrepreneurship activities for establishing a start-up company at UW with Velocity support, based on a business idea in “deep-tech” (a category of startup companies that develop new products based “on scientific discovery or meaningful engineering innovation) which matches research conducted by the WIN supervisor. Students participating in the program will receive mentorship and advice for start-up and entrepreneurial activities from Velocity.

Program Overview
Map the System is a global research competition organized by Oxford University that equips students to use systems thinking to tackle complex social or environmental challenges.
Tackling global challenges starts with understanding a problem and its wider context. Map the System asks students to select a social or environmental issue and to explore, probe, and research all the connecting elements and factors around it. Students should be able to present this issue in such a way that the audience can understand, learn and share.
The University of Waterloo leg of this competition runs annually over the Winter semester and is open to teams of undergraduate and graduate students in any discipline
