The Engineering Polymer Industrial Consortium (EPIC) is a university-industry-government collaboration to create, integrate, transfer and apply knowledge of polymer engineering and processing. Its purpose is to enhance the competitiveness and effectiveness of companies involved in design and manufacturing of plastic components or production of manufacturing and sensing equipment related to the plastics industry.

This consortium provides a formal means for the Polymer Engineering Center (PEC) at UW-Madison and its industrial collaborators to jointly formulate a research agenda, share expertise and resources, validate research outcomes, educate a knowledgeable workforce and facilitate the two-way transfer of technology.
