Water and Wastewater Treatment Research
Wilkes University initiated the Technology Transfer Program (TTP) in 1979 as a part of the
institution's ongoing mission to develop and maintain quality academic programs and
contribute to the renaissance of Northeastern Pennsylvania, while strengthening the
preparation of Wilkes University's undergraduate and graduate students. One of the major
objectives of the program is to assist area businesses and organizations in gaining access
to the University's expertise, facilities, and technical services. The tradition continues
today, as the TTP extends the University's scientific and technological resources to
national and international business and industry.
For the project to qualify for the TTP program it must have a positive impact on the
economic posture of the recipient and region. These projects must also meet and advance
the academic mission of Wilkes University and the Environmental Engineering and
Earth Sciencess through innovative solutions and student involvement.
The impact of the project is more important than the project size or cost. The cost of the
projects may vary from a few hundred dollars to many thousands of dollars. To date, over
500 proposals, have been reviewed and submitted through the Technology Transfer Program.
Of these projects, over 250 were funded, for a total of $ 20.7 million dollars. The TTP
assists with funding as well as expertise; these projects are augmented by in-kind funding
from the Wilkes University and the Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences. To date, the
University has contributed over $ 2.1 million as in-kind contributions to TTP projects.
For more information about the TTP projects and contact persons, please send your product,
service, company information, and type of assistance you need to the Director for the Water
Quality Laboratory at Wilkes University, please email your request to TTP Program Information. Your
request will be forwarded to the primary contact person depending on the type of project
and services needed.
