About Brookhaven National Laboratory

Brookhaven National Laboratory has a history of outstanding scientific achievement that spans more than six decades. One key to our continued success is the development of a strategy for the future that defines our mission and vision, our core scientific competencies, and how those competencies connect with the major activities and initiatives we plan to undertake. In other words, our vision defines what we want to be, our mission defines what we intend to do, and our strategy defines how we plan to do it.

This strategy, captured in the Laboratory Plan, 2009 – 2018, also details crucial infrastructure investments and opportunities for potential growth outside of those core competencies.

As we move through the next decade, the Lab’s vision is to be the “provider of choice” for world-class science and facilities, in support of the DOE Office of Science and its mission to enable breakthroughs that ensure a successful future for our nation. To us, this means excellence in all aspects of our work – from science, to safety, to project management, and more.
