The Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES) was an academic-government-industry consortium comprised of the US Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory, the public research universities of Idaho (Boise State University, Idaho State University, and the University of Idaho), and industry collaborators. CAES is superseded by the ISU-INL  Strategic Understanding for Premier Education and Research (SUPER) Agreement. Interested individuals can contact Dr. Mustafa Mashal, Special Advisor to the Vice President for Research and Economic Development, (mashmust@isu.edu) to find out more about the SUPER agreement and other collaboration opportunities with INL.
