The LANL Institutes

Partnering With Higher Education for the future of the Laboratory

LANL has formed several institutes, each with a partner university or consortia of universities. The formation of these institutes serves the need for LANL to recruit new staff and provide educational opportunities that will enhance retention at the Laboratory. This is accomplished by:

• Developing long-term collaborative relationships with universities whose research interests are important to the Laboratory.
• Sponsoring, partnering with, and funding university professors and students in areas that are important to meet Laboratory objectives.
• Establishing relationships with students working in these research areas and recruiting them to the Laboratory upon graduation where they can continue their work and help the Laboratory to fulfill is objectives.
• Instituting educational programs to provide Laboratory personnel with specific knowledge and skills that make them more effective in completing projects that meet Laboratory objectives.
