Western Washington University

Western Washington University is a comprehensive public university and Washington’s third‑largest public institution, serving a broad mix of undergraduate and graduate programs from its Bellingham campus and statewide locations. Industry collaboration is enabled by a waterfront Technology Development Center for joint R&D and by a coastal field station with direct access to the Salish Sea. Companies can engage through industry‑accessible instrumentation and facilities, sponsored projects, and regional business support resources. Research is supported by competitive federal and state funding, including the National Science Foundation. The Office of the Vice Provost for Research manages IP, NDAs/MTAs, and licensing, and offers commercialization training with the Washington Research Foundation.
