About Nexus
The world faces multiple challenges in energy and sustainability presented by global megatrends and needs. The Mines/NREL Nexus facilitates cooperation in areas of common mission, where combined capabilities can lead to solutions for key global challenges, and a means to pursue opportunities to address them.
Nexus is the embodiment of the decades-long Mines/NREL relationship. It is a joint partnership that strengthens, accelerates, and enhances all separately funded collaborative activities between NREL and Mines.
The people are the driving force behind what we do.
