PNNL is a world-class research institution whose expertise and resources are available to the community, decision-makers, industry, academia, the media, and others. Our researchers explore a remarkable array of topics that are relevant to issues in our daily lives. We’d love to share what we have discovered and to  learn about your related interests.

 

External Affairs

We are committed to sharing our expertise with the public, policy makers and others working on solutions to our greatest challenges.

Rick Perry's Visit to PNNL

The laboratory’s external affairs team creates shared value for PNNL, the region, and the nation by:

  • organizing educational briefings and testimony on scientific and technical aspects of policy issues
  • leading tours and briefings that highlight how our capabilities, facilities, and people enable the world to live more prosperously, safely, and securely
  • cultivating collaborations to strengthen the Pacific Northwest’s leadership in research, innovation, and STEM education.

More information about PNNL can be found on our About page and our research impact is captured in our News section.
