Mission

SER is focused on academics, outreach and research to yield energy-driven economic development for Wyoming. The Nuclear Energy Research Center is focused on interdisciplinary nuclear-energy capacity building across UW, and dedicated to developing collaborative relationships both external and internal to UW focused on nuclear energy research.

Given that increased deployment of nuclear energy faces both technical and non-technical challenges, NERC focuses on both the social sciences and the hard sciences to help futher energy solutions.
