Success! QCS Summer School 2026
The second annual QCS Summer School took place at the University of Waterloo July 20-24, 2026. We welcomed a larger group of students than we had last year for an exciting week of networking, technical talks, and workshops. Our students took on an ambitious hands-on training exercise in which student groups pitched mock research proposals to address an existing gap in climate research. The week concluded with a fantastic student poster session and cash prize announcements!
Student poster session
Our dedicated QCS students prepared posters on their exciting QCS research and presented them at a poster session on July 24th. Check out the poster archive, and the complete collection of abstracts (.pdf) from the 2026 Summer School.
