Kentucky DOE EPSCoR networks university faculty with government, industry and DOE national laboratories to build sustainable science and engineering research. It also develops collaborations and new opportunities in systemic education programs. These programs focus on improving technology materials that help teach mathematics, science and engineering principles of energy. In cooperation with the Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation (KSTC), a statewide entrepreneurship training and technology transfer program promotes an understanding of the steps and partnering necessary for the commercialization of inventions.
