Office of Research Experiences and Education
UL’s Office of Research Experiences and Education (OREE) is building the future of safety science.
Education draws from our organization’s research, and research experiences draw students and professionals into our areas of inquiry.
The office coordinates its efforts across these branches to contribute to the Underwriters Laboratories’ mission of building a safer, more sustainable world.
Overview

Our Commitment
We advance safety and sustainability by creating equity for all students through thoughtful, relevant, and meaningful STEM education and career pathways. We are committed to creating safe, sustainable communities through education and opportunity.

We design research experiences along a range of career pathways to create access and opportunities for students and professionals in research and in standards development.
Our commitment includes building, supporting, and expanding opportunities for scholars across the organization, offering virtual engagements with our experts; placing secondary, post-secondary and post-graduate students into relevant and meaningful research assignments, and partnering with universities, community colleges and NGOs to identify scholars with whom we can collaborate.

OREE initiatives in STEM education create opportunities and free resources for secondary students worldwide. These dynamic resources are useful catalysts for safety science knowledge development, inquiry, engagement, and action.
Xplorlabs is a STEM learning platform designed to be a conduit from our labs to communities and classrooms.
