The Wessex Institute of Technology (WIT) is located in New Forest National Park in England.

WIT does not grant undergraduate degrees, but is instead focused on knowledge transfer between academic researchers and the larger economy. It has graduate programs at both masters and doctoral levels, as well as employing researchers in the areas of Damage Mechanics, environmental modelling, fluid mechanics, Industrial Research, and Information Communications technology.

WIT has its own software development program as well as its own publishing branch.

[edit] Controversy:

A conference organised by the the Wessex Institute of Technology: "The Second International Conference on Design & Nature" entered into the debate between Evolutionists and Intelligent Design community. A paper by Microbiologist and Intelligent Design proponent Dr. Scott Minnich, was accepted through the peer review process. This is widely hailed as a success by the Intelligent Design community as a scientific proof refuting Darwin's Theory of Evolution. The prior lack of such peer reviewed papers had been a criticism often levelled at ID proponents by evolutionary scientists. [1]
