Energy Secretary Steven Chu aims to
better integrate basic and applied sciences.[1] OSTI's mission [2],
products, and services support this goal. Secretary Chu sees the need
to build networks to connect research within national labs,
universities, and industry. A number of OSTI's research offerings
directly facilitate open communication. Secretary Chu seeks to expand
international science collaboration. WorldWideScience.org, conceived
at OSTI, promotes such collaboration. Secretary Chu wants to link
research with solutions to our nation's pressing problems. OSTI,
through the DOE SBIR program, encourages small businesses to develop
and commercialize technologies that advance the acceleration of
science. Secretary Chu values development of engineering talent. OSTI
is developing technology that will improve science education.
