From the Chairman

Malcolm R. Beasley,
Chair of the AUI Board of Trustees

Associated Universities, Inc., (AUI) was established more than 60 years ago as a nonprofit organization to serve the nation by managing large complex research facilities for use by U.S. and international scientists. Over the years, this has included the design, construction, operation, and utilization of astronomical telescopes, particle accelerators, and other large scientific instruments. Increasingly, these activities involve international collaboration.

AUI is committed to managing research facilities so as to ensure the best possible science in a cost effective way, broad access by the scientific community, and a focus on discovery and the development and use of leading-edge technology. Through dialog with the scientific community and national funding agencies, AUI has been able to ensure the most effective use of public resources in establishing and operating some of the world’s most advanced and scientifically productive research facilities located both in the US and abroad. The AUI Board of Trustees draws on the talents, expertise and commitment to public service of scientists and science administrators from universities, research institutions and industry, as well as individuals from other segments of the society.

The AUI Board of Trustees draws on the talents, expertise and commitment to public service of scientists and science administrators from universities, research institutions and industry, as well as individuals from other segments of the society.

The AUI Board is committed to realizing the broadest public benefit that flows from vigorous scientific research.
