UCSC Academic Programs based in the Silicon Valley UCSC offers world-class education, training, and career-path-development opportunities in Silicon Valley through graduate and, eventually, undergraduate programs. Bio-Info-Nano Research and Development Institute (BIN-RDI) The BIN-RDI is planned as a broad partnership of government, academia, and industry focusing on the convergence of biotechnology, information technology, and nanotechnology. Based at the NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, it is a key component of UCSC's Silicon Valley Initiative. The BIN-RDI will support both open-exchange fundamental research and industry-supported start-up research aimed at developing breakthrough bio-info-nano fusion technologies. It will also provide an educational test-bed for novel curricula and teaching methodologies to develop a workforce for the future, and will exert national influence on technology policy and investment. Recent news about the BIN RDI includes:
Collaborative for Higher Education The University of California, Santa Cruz, San Jose State University, and the Foothill-De Anza Community College District have formed the "Collaborative," an innovative partnership to address Silicon Valley's critical education and workforce needs through joint research and education programs to be located at the proposed UC Silicon Valley Center. Recent news about the Education Collaborative includes:
University-Affiliated Research Center Under an agreement between UC and NASA, UCSC manages a national research program valued at more than $330 million. The 10-year contract, a first-of-its-kind for NASA, will establish a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) at the NASA Ames Research Center. The UARC is conducting top-quality research, serving as a magnet for world-class researchers, and providing enhanced student research and training in science and engineering. Recent news about the UARC includes:
UC Silicon Valley Center The University of California system (UC), led by the Santa Cruz campus, has located its “Silicon Valley Center” in the NASA Research Park. This UC regional center will allow students and researchers to work side-by-side with NASA Ames scientists on multidisciplinary and collaborative projects in leading edge disciplines of biotechnology, information technology and nanotechnology. The UC Silicon Valley Center will eventually encompass 600,000 square feet of classroom and office space. UCSC also plans to build a Bio-Info-Nano Research & Development Convergence Lab with classrooms. UCSC is working with NASA and Silicon Valley companies to develop plans for a permanent facility, with the UARC as the anchor tenant and its focus aligned to the interests of Silicon Valley companies.
