OSTI ID:5745747

As a national laboratory, the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) has an obligation to see that its research results and resources are made available to the public as rapidly and efficiently as possible. Private industry, through utilization and commercialization of laboratory technology, provides an essential function in making the practical applications of scientific advances available to the public. To help make the transfer of technology from Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory to industry effective, this publication summarizes the ways that industrial researchers interact with LBL's scientists. Included are (1) a brief introduction to LBL with suggestions on how to identify areas of research interest, (2) ways of working with LBL to utilize LBL facilities and expertise, (3) a description of research programs and contact points in the Applied Science Division and the Center for Advanced Materials, which have many interactions with industry, and (4) a description of LBL resources for initiating and maintaining private sector/LBL interactions. While specifically addressed to researchers and managers in private industry, the procedures described here are also utilized by others such as universities, state and local governments, and federal agencies.
