Alaska National Lab Day 2018

Exploring research collaboration between the University of Alaska and U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories

Held in 2018, Alaska National Lab Day sought to create links and explore opportunities for partnerships between the Department of Energy national laboratories and the University of Alaska that would help Alaska and the nation:

Grow the economy
Develop and implement sustainable energy solutions
Understand the implications of a changing Arctic environment

Organizers aimed to increase awareness and understanding of Alaska’s unique energy-related resources, infrastructure and environment in order to:

Identify research areas and mechanisms through which national labs could contribute to addressing Alaska’s energy-related challenges; and
Identify opportunities to utilize Alaska expertise and resources to support research in energy, climate and security at the national level.
