Research Experiences & Education

By transforming UL Research Institutes’ cutting-edge research into open-access resources spanning the education continuum and reimagining professional development for teachers, we are giving educators and students the tools to explore real-world issues and phenomena by asking bold questions and empowering them to propose their own solutions to these problems. Our programs and resources connect students directly to the world of safety science, helping them see themselves not just as learners, but as future researchers, innovators, engineers, and scientific thinkers.

Beyond the walls of the classroom, we believe in supporting and developing talented individuals as they enter the workforce. We support interns and fellows across UL Research Institutes and UL Standards & Engagement with the guidance, mentorship, and opportunities they need to thrive in a variety of safety STEM fields. We are committed to walking alongside them as they persist through degree studies and into their careers, ensuring that their passion for STEM becomes a lifelong pursuit.

And, we also believe in the transformative power that research can have on the education system as a whole. Education research and evaluation are the foundation for everything we do — guiding the design and development of our programs and initiatives. Through our educational research, we aim to uncover insights that will help us strengthen classrooms, empower educators, and inspire students nationwide. Evaluation is the core of our programs, ensuring that our efforts evolve, adapt, and remain responsive to the learners and educators we serve.
