The knowledge, innovation, and creativity of our research and technical staff has enabled NREL to become recognized as the nation's premier laboratory for R&D in renewable energy and energy efficiency. Throughout the years, many of our staff have received awards and honors for their contributions and their dedication to their sciences and technologies. These awards and honors, which have come from many areas, can be categorized as follows:
R&D 100 Awards. Often referred to as the Academy Awards of technology, these awards are presented to the "100 most important technological innovations of the year." The winning technologies are selected by dozens of experts and the editors of R&D Magazine, who cull through hundreds of nominated technologies. The magazine presents the awards at a gala event held in Chicago in the fall of each year.
