WISE hosted a two-day electric vehicle test drive event in partnership with Mitsubishi. The aim was to engage with the local community and elicit their input into the design of WISE's Drive4Data initiative. The event was highly successful, attracting local utilities, municipalities and the high-tech sector. A large majority of participants indicated they would be willing to share their electric vehicle data with WISE, while 30 per cent indicated they would like to be directly involved in advancing the initiative.

The workshop on the Risks of CO_2��Sequestration was held at University of ��ݮ��Ƶ on Oct 11-12, 2011. This was sponsored by the ��ݮ��Ƶ Institute for Sustainable Energy and Carbon Management Canada.

WISE and ��ݮ��Ƶ Engineering partnered with NSERC to conduct an Electric Vehicle / Grid Interaction Industry Mixer event. It provided a networking opportunity with representatives from the local Electric Vehicle community. 

WE Innovate was held on November 4, 2010 in the new Engineering 5 building. The inaugural annual event was a showcase of ��ݮ��Ƶ Engineering innovation. World-class researchers displayed leading edge technology that will shape the world of tomorrow. Attendees included researchers from across campus and industry partners.

The conference organizers appreciated the nearly 100 thought-leaders that participated in the Governance and Regulation in the Electricity Sector: Balancing Independence with Accountability event. The conference was presented in partnership with the Council for Clean & Reliable Energy, the Richard Ivey School of Business, University of Western Ontario, and the ��ݮ��Ƶ Institute for Sustainable Energy, University of ��ݮ��Ƶ.
