Science Labs
The foundation of GM R&D is the network of seven research sites found globally. The Science Labs are staffed by high-caliber researchers and scientists from all over the world.
Science Offices
A Science Office consists of a small staff located within a country of interest. The primary role of the Science Office is to identify & engage relevant, capable local institutions in collaborative research activities with researchers in the Science Labs. It also provides project portfolio management for all R&D work done within that country.
External resources in the network
Collaborative Research Labs
A Collaborative Research Laboratory (CRL) is a collaborative effort between GM and a university that focuses resources on a significant R&D topic of keen interest to both parties. GM establishes a strategic partnership with a university that is an intellectual leader in the area in order to extend the state of the art in a technology.
