The world’s most challenging and compelling scientific problems are bigger than any single organization can tackle and require active collaborations to unravel and resolve. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s university partnerships are essential to advancing U.S. scientific leadership and strengthening national research capabilities.

University partnerships allow PNNL to tap specialized resources and expertise while cultivating the next generation of scientific leaders. At the same time, universities gain access to world-class instruments and leading research capabilities at the laboratory. PNNL is committed to collaborating with top academic institutions, using strategic partnerships to drive impactful research collaborations.

Joint appointments between PNNL and other research institutions create unique opportunities for researchers to expand their expertise and impact. This distinctive opportunity accelerates research advancements that would not be possible if pursued separately.
