Invitation to Sandia National Laboratories and Georgia Tech Academic Alliance Day

Interested Faculty, Researchers and Graduate Students, please RSVP your attendance here: REGISTER

Sandia National Laboratories has partnered with Georgia Tech on the Sandia Academic Alliance Program. Sandia Day invites Georgia Tech faculty, researchers and graduate students for a half-day event to raise awareness about the academic alliance between GT and Sandia and exchange information about technical focus areas to develop new engagements. Academic partnerships enrich mutual capabilities and expand impact.

Intended Outcomes

• Better understanding of Sandia Academic Alliance technical research areas, Sandia’s Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program to seed new engagements, student intern programs and post doc opportunities, and opportunities for new sponsor funded research
• Enhance impact of research collaborations
• Increase student awareness about Sandia and opportunities for student internship/postdoc/regular positions
• Learn more about GT capabilities and faculty research interests that align with Sandia Academic Alliance technical research areas
