Welcome to the Yale Water Innovation Center
The Yale Water Innovation Center (YWIC) is a center recently established within the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Yale University. YWIC is a multidisciplinary research and innovation hub dedicated to advancing sustainable water technologies, entrepreneurship, and education. YWIC focuses on developing next-generation water technologies in three main areas: clean water for the resource-limited regions and for disaster relief; clean water for household; and clean water for manufacturing, food/beverage, and agricultural industries via wastewater treatment for discharge and recycling. Its mission is to:
- Support next-generation research in water science and engineering
- Accelerate the translation of research into deployable technologies
- Foster education, workforce development, and entrepreneurship
- Serve as a hub connecting academia, industry, and government
At the heart of YWIC is a centralized analytical facility—YWIC Analytical Core—that provides access to advanced instrumentation that is essential for water constituent analysis.
