TEAM Founding Team The UW Environmental Innovation Challenge was conceived of and implemented by the Applied Physics Laboratory in the College of Ocean and Fishery Sciences and the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Foster School of Business at the University of Washington. These two groups have a longstanding history of collaboration that includes the highly successful ‘From Invention to Start-Up’ Seminar Series.

The group has worked to identify a suite of focus themes for the Challenge and will define the parameters of the competition, including evaluation criteria. The Advisory Committee includes: Sue Mecklenburg, VP, Sustainable Procurement Practices, Starbucks Doug Walker, founder, WRQ and REI board chair Thomas Daniel, UW professor and Biology chair Gretchen Hund, Environmental Policy Specialist, Battelle Joseph Whitford, partner and attorney, Davis Wright Tremaine In addition to the Advisory Committee, we are engaging a host of domain experts from the environmental, green-tech/clean-tech, and research communities, as well as industry partners to submit prospective Challenge problems and to serve as advisors to the teams and be judges at the event. Interested parties seeking to submit Challenge problems may contact Pamela Tufts, Manager of the Environmental Innovation Challenge, at ptufts@u.washington.edu or 206.685.3813. Campus Partners There has been tremendous support of the Challenge across the campus of the University of Washington. In particular, the Foster School of Business, the College of Engineering, and the College of the Environment have provided generous financial support to launch this venture. Additional campus units who have shown their support of this program include the College of Architecture and Urban Planning, the Program on the Environment, the Law School, and College of Arts and Sciences. The Challenge founders are grateful for the support of these academic units, for without their backing this exciting and innovative new program would not succeed.
