Partnerships

Working Together for Real-World Impact

The safety challenges we face are too vast for any one organization to solve alone. That’s why we collaborate with a growing coalition who share our conviction that advanced materials can help shape a safer future. 

Impacts Require Partners

Advancing discovery through partnership

As a fully funded research lab within UL Research Institutes, the Materials Discovery Research Institute occupies a distinctive space where scientific exploration meets real-world application. Our mission extends beyond discovery. Our success is measured in how we translate breakthroughs in materials science into solutions that enhance human safety and protect the environment. To amplify our impact, we actively collaborate with leading universities, government agencies, venture investors, and industry partners to accelerate the discovery, development, and deployment of next-generation materials.

Let's solve the world's more intractable safety challenges together.
