UD RESEARCH INITIATIVES

What will the future look like, and how can we ensure we pursue the best path forward to make progress happen, together? This is just one of many questions we ask on a daily basis at the University of Delaware … in our laboratories, in our classrooms and in multiple environments beyond our campus where our students collaborate and learn around the world.

Located at the heart of the U.S. East Coast, the University of Delaware has been a nexus of innovation and bold thinking since its founding in 1743. In fact, some of our students were among the visionaries and pioneers of U.S. independence. Today, the University of Delaware continues to cultivate creative thinkers—Nobel laureates, Rhodes Scholars and Truman Scholars—whose ideas are changing the world.
