Description of the organization's activities:
The University of Waterloo's mission is to advance learning and knowledge through teaching, research, and scholarship, nationally and internationally, in an environment of free expression and inquiry. The university fulfils this mission by offering undergraduate and graduate students the best possible education experience in selected regular, co-operative education, and professional programs; by engaging in basic and applied research and scholarly activity that is recognized nationally and internationally; and by providing service to society through the transfer of knowledge and cultural enrichment. What makes UW distinctive is the innovative approach it takes to achieving its mission, through co-operative education, distance education, technology transfer, and research partnerships at the local, national, and international levels. An outward-looking perspective orients UW to the challenges that face our society and economy, including strengths in entrepreneurship and the commercialization of research results.
