-> NREL will establish a research collaboration with UConn at the Innovation Partnership Building (IPB) at the UConn Tech Park designed to leverage scientific knowledge and state-of-the-art facilities to address global energy challenges, including energy efficiency and resiliency, renewable energy technologies, and smart grid innovation.

“The partnership between UConn and NREL further builds our university’s reputation as a leader in the field of clean energy research and innovation,” says UConn President Radenka Maric. “Connecticut is known as the birthplace of the fuel cells that provided electricity to the command module in the Apollo moon mission. A great deal of related education, research, training, and demonstration related to fuel cells, hydrogen, and batteries happened and continues to happen at UConn. <-

-> UConn is now a member of a prestigious cohort of universities engaged with NREL through its University Partnerships Program. It joins MIT, Princeton, Georgia Tech, and Carnegie Mellon, to name a few, in the eastern half of the country. Through its University Partnership Program, NREL works across disciplines to enhance research, foster an exchange of ideas, mobilize resources and create opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in cutting-edge fields related to the clean energy economy. <-

-> NREL will support research in the IPB, UConn’s state-of-the-art facility for laboratories and specialized equipment. Several national and international companies and organizations support research centers within the IPB, collectively investing more than $150 million in the UConn Tech Park. <-

I'll never complain about being in an academic partnership with MIT, Princeton and Stanford but aren't ASU and WSU the two academic outliers in the (current) Pac-12?

I was thinking the same thing but at the same time, any university with resources can invest in people and equipment. They have the resources and maybe their locations have some purpose.

the more collaborations we can do with businesses in the state, the better. green tech is fine but lets double the number of affiliations with state businesses.

Um, Aren’t those the ones that blew up crippling the command module during Apollo 13?

Moral of the story, when someone tells you to stir the cell, just say no.
