NETL recognizes and promotes the important research conducted in our Nation’s institutions of higher education.
The academic environment is well-suited to fundamental research that may lead to applied technologies and
scale-up to commercial use.

Involvement of professors and students is conducive to the generation of fresh ideas.  In addition, student participation serves a vital national interest — ensuring the continuing availability of scientists and engineers with appropriate expertise for the U.S. energy industry.

Advanced Research's Educational Initiatives are yet another way that NETL is implementing its mission of solving the nation's energy and environmental problems.
