Educational Investment in Ohio’s Polymer Industry

A world leader in the field of polymers, Ohio's polymer industry is the state's most expansive - and important - economic sector. The state's universities and colleges are stepping up to provide students with essential job skills to continue to allow this vital industry to expand in a 21st century global marketplace.

Through a National Science Foundation grant of nearly $1 million awarded to the Ohio Supercomputer Center, The Ohio State University, the University of Akron and the Ohio Learning Network, new educational opportunities will drive continued innovation in the polymer industry.

PolymerOhio, a networking group committed to the global competitiveness and growth of Ohio's polymer industry, provides programs and services to advance the industry. In collaboration with the grant, PolymerOhio will provide forums for the introduction of cyberinfrastructure resources and workforce training to key leaders of Ohio’s 2,800 polymer firms.
