A longer runway for collaboration
Waterloo and Airbus formalize a framework for research and talent development.
The context
Where the work begins
A new agreement connects Waterloo and Airbus across sustainable aviation, advanced materials, digital systems and emerging aerospace technologies. The Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Aeronautics coordinates the partnership, alongside the Future in Motion Network.
The takeaway
What follows
The framework builds on a relationship begun in 2021 with Airbus’s local digital aviation team, now operating as Skywise. It also points toward student projects and experiential learning. These are planned avenues for collaboration, rather than a tally of completed projects or new jobs.
