Science and Technology on a Mission

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) addresses national and global issues by leveraging leading-edge science and technology (S&T). To achieve world-class S&T, the Laboratory relies on a talented and committed staff, state-of-the-art facilities and equipment and robust partnerships with other laboratories, universities, industry and government organizations. These elements, along with internal investments in S&T, are indispensable to our national security missions and advancing science and technology.

Core Competencies are areas of special capability or expertise in which we seek to contribute as a national — and often world — leader. From basic research to applied science and engineering, we leverage Core Competencies to understand, respond and adapt to pressing issues. The seven Core Competencies are continually strengthened through cutting-edge research and collaborations with other laboratories, government organizations, industry and academia.
