The Strategic Partnerships Office (SPO) can facilitate partnership agreements for your project. As a sponsor, you gain access to Berkeley Lab’s unique capabilities, state-of-the-art facilities, and world-class scientific researchers. As a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) federal laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) works with agreements approved by the DOE, including those that bring non-DOE funding into the Lab. These agreements allow Berkeley Lab to offer sponsors collaborative development in technology, expertise, and intellectual property to help solve critical problems to meet the needs of humanity.
