The University of ��ݮ��Ƶ, in partnership with the Balsillie School of International Affairs, the ��ݮ��Ƶ Institute for Complexity and Innovation, and Future Cities Institute will host an international workshop to convene and build the capacities of the global climate city data governance community. This two-day in-person workshop will be held on April 21-22, 2025 at the Balsillie School of International Affairs in ��ݮ��Ƶ, Canada.

WICI World Café for faculty and/or students interested in complex systems.

WICI Director Dr. Sean Geobey and his research team share how their work with the Investment Readiness Program, in partnership with Canadian Community Economic Development Network (CCEDNet), connects with social finance and community-wealth building.

WICI Director Dr. Sean Geobey brings community leaders Naudia Banton, Manager of ��ݮ��Ƶ Region Small Business Centre, Trevor Charles, Executive Director of LiftOFF, Eric Avner, President and CEO of ��ݮ��Ƶ Region Community Foundation, and Carla Leon, President and CEO of Just Like Family Home Care, together to share their perspectives on community wealth building.

WICI and Perimeter Institute present the "Hammers & Nails Climate Workshop" on Monday 17th July. This workshop will continue the spirit of theMay 2023 WICI-Fields Math for Complex Climate Challenges Workshop, aiming to bring mathematicians in the same room with experts from climate, energy and biodiversity research. 

�ճ���� is partnering with the to organize a 4-day workshop, “Math for Complex Climate Challenges” at the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ, from May 1 - 4^th, 2023. 

WICI Virtual Book Club: The Ministry for the Future

Thursday April 13th at 12 p.m. (Register in advance via Eventbrite)

Hosted by the ��ݮ��Ƶ Institute for Complexity and Innovation and Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences

In "The Ministry for the Future", author Kim Stanley Robinson paints a dystopian, yet ultimately hopeful picture of our planet's next century. In this hybrid fiction/non-fiction book, Robinson hypothesizes how a combination of novel policies and major societal changes might allow humans, and the planet that houses us, to emerge positively from the climate crisis.

We invite readers to share in a discussion of Robinson's proposed resolutions to the climate crises, viewed through a complex systems lens, in advance of the upcoming WICI/Fields "Mathematics for Complex Climate Challenges" workshop which will run May 1st - 4th at the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ.

This workshop will interest risk analysts seeking solutions for anticipating the potentially good or bad consequences of surprises or unforeseen events when analysing risk. This workshop focuses on system complexity and how it can be leveraged analytically to avoid surprises. The workshop demonstrates and applies both fundamental and state-of-the-art methods and tools for how to specify complex yet poorly characterized systems underlying any decision context.

Join us for a WICI Webinar on Wednesday, January 6th @ 2 p.m.�������� .
