Join us at the Engineering & Computer Science Library at one of the following times for an Introduction to LaTeX workshop:
OR
LaTeX is a free document creation alternative to MS Word. It is the standard for writing in many STEM fields and offers advantages for managing references, typesetting math, inserting graphics and figures, and much more. In this workshop, you will create a LaTeX document using Overleaf, and practice using some core LaTeX features.
By the end of the session, participants should be able to:
- Access LaTeX on their computer via Overleaf
- Create a simple LaTeX document
- Insert equations, figures, and tables
- Insert references and create a bibliography
- Identify resources and templates for writing journal articles, theses, and more in LaTeX
No previous knowledge of LaTeX is required. Participants should bring their own computer.
This workshop is being held in the Engineering and Computer Science Library Classroom (SF2402).
Registration required:
October 9 – https://libcal.library.utoronto.ca/event/3840792
November 27 – https://libcal.library.utoronto.ca/event/3840797
Please send questions about the workshop to Cay del Junco at clara.deljunco@mail.utoronto.ca.
We are excited to announce the launch of the 3rd round of the Innovation in Wearable Therapeutic Technologies Research Funding competition in partnership with The SONA Group and Vee Technologies. This round of funding presents an excellent opportunity for researchers to develop cutting-edge, smart fabric-based wearables with potential commercial applications. In the previous two rounds, 15 proposals received funding from SONA, Vee, and Mitacs.
To broaden the reach and encourage strong submissions, we kindly ask that you forward the announcement and attached documentation to your colleagues at your institution who may be interested in applying.
Key highlights of the competition:
· Each project must include at least one KITE Scientist as an applicant.
· Collaboration with other FIBRE academic institutions is highly encouraged.
· Up to $54,000 in cash from Vee Technologies is available per project.
· Unlimited in-kind contributions from The SONA Group are also available, which include access to infrastructure, expertise, and materials to support the projects.
· Additional funding for post-secondary students and postdoctoral fellows may be available through Mitacs.
· Applicants are encouraged to seek opportunities with other organizations (Mitacs, granting agencies, sponsors, donors, etc.).
