Overview
The University of California at Berkeley Labor Center would help ensure successful implementation of energy efficiency and distributed generation (local and community-based) solar policies in California in order to reduce demand for energy, which in turn will reduce global warming emissions. The Labor Center is a key liaison connecting labor unions, environmental groups, and policymakers and would devote special attention to bridging gaps between those three constituencies in Los Angeles, where union support is essential for energy efficiency and renewable energy programs to advance.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity
A grant to the University of California at Berkeley will support the ongoing work of the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, the home of this research and engagement at the university. The center focuses on both the “cyber” and “security” components of cybersecurity, grounding efforts in a robust, flexible, and evolving understanding of the “possibility” space of cybersecurity. Research will focus on possible security scenarios and explore the technical, political, and economic intersection of these potential futures. The aim of this approach is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration within the center as well as to add diversity to the cybersecurity conversation. The center brings together academics from the School of Information, the School of Law, Computer Science, the Goldman School of Public Policy, and the College of Engineering, among others. It also engages external stakeholders in all facets of this work, including in outreach efforts. (Strategy: Talent Pipeline)
