YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIDAHO FALLS — Idaho National Laboratory and Idaho State University are embarking on a new era of research collaboration, announcing a Strategic Understanding for Premier Education and Research (SUPER) agreement on Wednesday at the lab’s headquarters in Idaho Falls.
Idaho National Laboratory Director John Wagner and Idaho State University President Robert Wagner signed the agreement at the Engineering Research Office Building, expanding the entities’ joint research efforts for the next five years.
“We are particularly focused on collaborations in two areas that are important to the economic prosperity of the state of Idaho as well as the nation … and those are critical and strategic materials and minerals and environmental sustainability and security,” John Wagner said.
The agreement will foster cutting-edge research in “carbon reduction, sequestration and storage technologies, digitalization and artificial intelligence, geothermal energy, and spent fuel storage and disposition,” according to an INL news release.
Robert Wagner described the university’s partnership with INL as “multi-dimensional.”
More than 1,200 of INL’s 6,200 employees have obtained one or more degrees from Idaho State University.
“We are preparing, as an institution, the workforce that comes to work here at INL, and now your workforce is helping us teach,” Robert Wagner said.
The university provides unique opportunities to leverage educational programs into employment at the laboratory.
“We’re just not talking about PhD programs or nuclear engineering, although those are critically important,” Robert Wagner said. “We’re talking about our College of Technology certificates (and) associate degrees. Those students are … going right to work and finding incredible jobs here and contributing to the community.“
