ABOUT NMC
ABOUT THE NEW MEXICO CONSORTIUM
Established in 2006, the New Mexico Consortium (NMC) partners with Los Alamos National Laboratory in order to develop, implement and continually improve models that encourage and support collaborative research across its partner institutions University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University and the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology
Science is increasingly collaborative; tackling problems at a large scale requires cross-institutional, cross-disciplinary teams. The NMC helps LANL, universities, and industry to work together.
Our goal is to develop, implement and continually improve models for pursuing and conducting collaborative research across our partner institutions. Our passion for what we do, coupled with the desire to uplift other institutions, companies, and agencies is an equation for success.
