Institutional plan October 2004.

[摘要] As a member of the national laboratory system for more than 58 years, Argonne conducts worldclass research and development in support of the long-term goals of the Department of Energy (DOE) and its Office of Science, to ''position our nation for scientific and economic strength and leadership in the years to come.'' Our efforts focus on basic science, energy resources, environmental stewardship, and national security. To enhance our performance in carrying out DOE's missions, Argonne and the University of Chicago--which has operated the Laboratory for its entire history--work closely together to strengthen ties and increase research collaboration between the two institutions. Argonne manages five major DOE user facilities and we are working to add to this roster. We work with colleagues from the other national laboratories, academia, and industry to employ these national research tools on the cutting edge of science and technology. The key to making our discoveries useful is to move them quickly from the laboratory to the marketplace. Our current portfolio of technologies contains approximately 185 patents and copyrighted software products available for licensing by private enterprise. It also includes substantial efforts for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Our support for DHS draws on our deep understanding of the nation's technology infrastructure and on application of our technologies to detect, prevent, and retaliate against terrorist attacks.
