Science Initiative

The University of Wyoming's Science Initiative enables world-class research and education that strengthens the foundations of Wyoming's present and future economy. Through integrated, interdisciplinary science, Wyoming's current and future researchers and entrepreneurs revolutionize areas of Wyoming's economy including mineral extraction, agriculture, tourism, resource management, and emerging technology, while also preserving Wyoming's greatest natural resources and unique biodiversity. The Science Initiative provides UW students with a flexible, pioneering skill set, giving them the resources to invent a Wyoming future whose details cannot be fully known.
