Idaho National Laboratory and Missouri University Forge New Research Partnership
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho — The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) have entered a groundbreaking collaboration to enhance research and educational opportunities. The partnership was formalized through a memorandum of understanding under the Strategic Understanding for Premier Education and Research (SUPER) initiative.
This agreement sets the stage for collaborative research in vital areas such as integrated energy systems, advanced nuclear reactors, electric power and grid security, along with advanced materials and manufacturing suited for extreme conditions. With this partnership, both institutions aim to enrich the educational experience for students, faculty, and researchers.
Todd Combs, INL’s deputy laboratory director for Science and Technology, highlighted the commitment to scientific excellence and energy solutions. “Together, we are poised to make significant strides that will benefit both our institutions and society,” he remarked.
The collaboration will facilitate the exchange of academic materials and visiting scholars, and host symposia and workshops aimed at fostering innovation in energy and technology. Missouri S&T, known for its strong background in nuclear education, expressed enthusiasm for the deeper partnership. Joseph Newkirk, professor and chair of nuclear engineering, stated that this collaboration opens new pathways for students to address critical global energy challenges.
This alliance between INL and Missouri S&T promises to drive progress in scientific research and technological development, with a shared vision to transform the energy landscape and strengthen national infrastructure.
