University Partnerships Program

The University Partnerships Program (UPP) connects academic institutions with NREL's high-caliber research capabilities, state-of-the art facilities, and a network of partners to create a clean energy future.

NREL collaborates with more than 1,000 partners across industry, academia, and government to achieve a clean energy future. NREL's basic and applied research would not be possible without our relationships with universities in terms of ideation and innovation, student and faculty engagement, and resource mobilization.
