Oak Ridge National Laboratory institutional plan, FY 1989--FY 1994
This report contains a description of the programs now under way and those planned for in the future. The past decade has witnessed a growing awareness of the connection between advances in science and technology and economic growth. It has also witnessed the growing concern that the United States is falling behind in its ability to compete in certain arenas of technology development. As a result, there has been an examination of many activities in our nation to determine what might be done to improve our ability to compete on a global scale. Competitiveness has become a buzz word. We need to continue to identify and conduct outstanding frontier programs of basic and applied research and technology development. Competitiveness means periodic critical review of these programs to ensure that they are excellent and consistent with the national needs. In that regard, ORNL and the other Department of Energy Laboratories have a vital role to play in various arenas involving competitiveness. To enhance our competitive position in international commercial markets, better working relationships with industrial organizations will help to transfer knowledge about the Laboratory's scientific and technological developments. Our colleagues from industry can also help the Laboratory scientists to better understand industry problems that the Laboratory might help to solve. This type of synergistic relationship also exists between universities and the Laboratory. Jointly sponsored research and other interactions provide access to unique facilities and invigorating discussions. Also, to be competitive in the future, the DOE Laboratories and industries need sufficient technical staff. Closer ties with schools and universities can help this situation by stimulating our youth, including minorities and women to consider careers in science and engineering.
