The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has joined a consortium of public and private institutions that conduct research and development on enhancing the competition, cybersecurity and supply chain management in the U.S. manufacturing industry.
The laboratory will offer its Advanced Research on Integrated Energy Systems platform and cyber range to support the Cybersecurity Manufacturing Innovation Institute’s foundational tasks, including creating a digital platform for workforce development, the Department of Energy said Tuesday.
NREL is the fourth DOE national laboratory to join the national research institute, which is led by the University of Texas-San Antonio and funded by the Advanced Manufacturing Office.
The laboratory’s participation follows the launch of CyManII’s first public roadmap, which outlines the institute’s five-year plan of priorities and initiatives.
