Our Community-Engaged Research Mission
UC Berkeley stands proudly at the forefront of academic excellence and research for the public good. Working with community, policy, and industry partners, Berkeley scholars generate new evidence and innovations. We are transforming the culture and ecosystem at UC Berkeley to strengthen reciprocal “research with” partnerships that generate societally impactful scholarship, and values diverse investigators and partners outside of campus.
See below for our progress, community-engaged impact stories, and resources.
Our Vision: UC Berkeley as the leading public impact university, amplifying the societal impact of our research mission and advancing the wellbeing of the state, the nation, and the world.
Research Partnership Impact Stories
These initiatives highlight just a few of the hundreds of Berkeley scholars who work closely with community, public, and private sector experts outside the university to co-construct partnered research for long term societal impact.
