The organization was founded in 1984 in a research park adjacent to Ohio State University, [2] when then Ohio Governor Richard Celeste established the Thomas Edison Program, an initiative to establish the Edison Technology Excellence Centers within the state, including a center for welding research and development. Today EWI operates independently and is considered one of the leading engineering and technology innovator for advanced manufacturing in North America. [3]

EWI has offices and laboratories in Columbus, Ohio and Buffalo, New York.

The Ohio State University, commonly called Ohio State or OSU, is a public land-grant research university in Columbus, Ohio. A member of the University System of Ohio, Ohio State was founded in 1870 as the state's land-grant university and the ninth university in Ohio with the Morrill Act of 1862. Ohio State was originally known as the Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College and focused on various agricultural and mechanical disciplines, but it developed into a comprehensive university under the direction of then-Governor and later U.S. president Rutherford B. Hayes, and in 1878, the Ohio General Assembly passed a law changing the name to "the Ohio State University" and broadening the scope of the university. It is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity". The university's endowment of $7.0 billion in 2022 is among the largest in the world.
