From Concept to Market: Realities of Commercializing Your Research Kimberly Kuntz Mon, 01/11/2021 - 12:14

Have you considered commercializing your research? Or starting a company of your own?

How do you turn your research into a scalable business? Learn how to navigate the transition from the lab (or whiteboard) to market and speak the language that will attract investment to your concept.

The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) welcomes John Dick, Velocity BA and Co-Founder of Nicoya (Velocity Alumnus 2016), to share his own experience and answer any burning questions about commercializing your research.

Impact and beyond Kathryn Fedy Tue, 09/08/2020 - 10:05

The profound impact of early discovery, experimentation, and disruption through research and invention

Researchers today build on the knowledge and discoveries made by those who have come before them. How can today’s researchers light the early pathways and curiosities for the research breakthroughs of the future? How can we demonstrate the impact and potential of the yet-to-be known? And, what if any, role does academia, industry, the Faculty of Mathematics, and Canada play in increasing the discovery journey to these new frontiers?

Recognizing September 14th as Profound Impact Day will celebrate the global impact of the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ, its role as an international centre of research and development, and the ��ݮ��Ƶ Digital Math community. Join us to hear about:

The impact research from the Faculty of Mathematics can have
How your curiosity and discoveries deepen our impact
How connecting with each other and our alumni can open up new impactful opportunities

On Profound Impact Day, join Camelia Nunez, Faculty of Mathematics’ Director of Innovation and Research Partnerships, for a fireside conversation withProfessor Michele Mosca (BMath '95), co-founder of ��ݮ��Ƶ's cryptography centre and former deputy director of the Institute for Quantum Computing, and a leader in the field of quantum information.
