Strategic partnership agreed between Liverpool and National Nuclear Laboratory

UGA and Liverpool colleagues on the final day of the visit

The University of Liverpool and National Nuclear Laboratories (NNL) have committed to a strategic partnership aimed at developing international research on nuclear power generation.

The partnership will focus on work across engineering; environmental sciences; electrical engineering; electronics; computer sciences; and physical sciences.

Professor Paul Howarth, NNL Managing Director, said: “There are significant benefits to both parties when an industry-university relationship moves from being transactional to truly strategic. I am pleased to have progressed NNL’s relationship with Liverpool to a higher level and to be able to engage with such a wide range of subject areas.”

Plans for the future of the partnership include education activities and a series of joint appointments.
