Education Research Testing Technology
Our academic program
delivers a cross-
disciplinary water-centric
“semester away”
curriculum to 200
undergraduates in a
unique setting with
integrated research
science access.
The institute’s sustainable
water research
opportunities will bring
private and public sector
projects and scientists
together in a unique
academic and ecosystem
environment.
Both water quality and
pathological testing labs will
support municipal and
commercial customers’
water testing needs as well
as the regional shellfishing
community.
A clean water tech hub
incubator, and test
beds help to drive
growth of “Blue”
technologies on a
regional and global
dimension.
The Blue
Institute was
selected for
participation in
the 2016 EforAll
program!
The Blue Institute at Cape Cod is a strategic consortium of collaborative
partners including leading research universities, professional
organizations, industry, local communities and aqua farms working
together to design and create a strong cross-disciplinary academic
program, research facility, and water testing program and labs which
take advantage of the highly unique fresh and saltwater ecosystem at
and surrounding Cape Cod.

Fully dedicated to developing innovate
solutions to global clean water challenges.
The Blue Institute has embarked on a multi-phased growth plan:
The Blue Institute management team is in the midst of a
funding campaign to formally launch Phase 1 of the project.
This small team is looking for commitments totaling $1.5M
to initiate the research, academic and testing departments.
If you believe in our mission and feel you would like to help
support the organization, please contact the Blue Institute.
Phase Description Timing
Phase 1 – Ramping
Up & Outreach
(2016-2018)

complete 2021
From a technology standpoint, the Blue Institute will
incorporate curriculum inclusion, prioritize research, and
integrate the latest in aquatic technologies and marine
robotics. The technology employed will surely engage
students, enable research, drive efficiencies in water cleaning
capabilities and aqua farming, and inspire imaginative and
innovative solutions based on the latest sound clean water
scientific inquiry.
