The University of Washington has an extraordinary history of leveraging technology for important discovery. This includes inventing kidney dialysis, perfecting exact atomic measurements, pioneering Web crawlers, collecting and analyzing stardust, and deploying real-time ocean observatories.

A crucial support structure for this culture of discovery and invention is the information technology (IT) and other technology related staff in the university’s clinics, laboratories, and institutes.

The Office of UW Technology partners with UW IT staff and the university community to support innovation, discovery, and outreach through IT, networking, information systems, and information management. Our mission is to:

• Support discovery and learning that advance the mission of the UW and its standing as one of the world’s great research institutions.
• Build partnerships that enable extraordinary achievements by UW students, faculty, staff, and clinicians.
• Improve synergy and productivity through technology innovations and collaborations with the UW community.
• Deliver the worldwide capabilities needed by our global university.
• Foster innovation that transforms learning, research, and health care.
• Showcase technology that inspires others by illustrating what is possible.
