in the College of Engineering (COE), with the possibility of
additional joint appointments outside of COE.
The Berkeley Space Center (BSC) is a proposed, 36-acre innovation
center at NASA Ames in the heart of Silicon Valley, where academia,
private industry, and government will come together to identify,
incubate, and launch tomorrow's technological breakthroughs. The
BSC project is a public-private partnership that focuses on
connecting and leveraging the combined capabilities of government
and academic research with private industry's innovation,
entrepreneurialism, and capital in a central location designed to
foster collaboration across multiple disciplines. A number of
partnerships and research collaborations have already been
established in advance of physical development of the BSC, with
more to be explored in the near future. A more detailed overview of
the project can be found here.
