California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC), UC Davis

CLTC was developed through a collaborative effort between the California Energy Commission, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association to advance energy-efficient lighting and daylighting technologies. CLTC was established in 2003 at the University of California, Davis. The CLTC facility includes full-scale lighting and daylighting application laboratories for the development and demonstration of next-generation, emerging lighting and daylighting technologies. Comprehensive in-house and outreach training programs are being developed in cooperation with industry and utility groups to complement demonstration and application labs. As a demonstration and education facility, CLTC helps to establish key market connections by providing practitioners the hands-on opportunity to learn about energy-efficient lighting technologies and lighting design approaches. Furthermore, CLTC coordinates outreach and support efforts with existing utility-based energy centers, offering tours, demonstration materials, and technical assistance in the adoption of emerging technologies.

Center for Mind and Culture

The Center for Mind and Culture, Inc. (CMAC) is a non-profit organization in Boston, Massachusetts, dedicated to non-partisan research. The network of expert researchers at CMAC tackles complex social problems such as illegal child trafficking, religious self-radicalization, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, social integration of immigrants and refugees, and many other critical issues arising within what we refer to as the “mind-culture nexus.” Many aspects of human life come together in the mind-culture nexus: thinking and emotion in brains, personality and identity, entanglement in environments, distinctive cultures, socio-economic conditions, and historic processes of change. Many fields of research generate insights into the mind-culture nexus, from neuroscience to sociology, from biochemistry to public health, and from engineering to philosophy. At CMAC, we gather experts from all these fields into problem-focused teams, discovering how to make headway on the previously intractable, extraordinarily complex, extremely baffling, and deeply frustrating problems we face today. In addition to implementing leading-edge training and public education, CMAC research teams employ computational models, data analytics, historical interpretation, philosophical analysis of concepts, and other methods within a highly collaborative approach to generate real-world solutions to the host of complex problems residing at the heart of the mind-culture nexus. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ CMAC’s has a three pronged mission: research, training, and outreach. We develop and catalyze research initiatives into the nexus of mind and culture, act as an institutional locus for understanding these phenomena, and empower academic scholarship as well as the public with further knowledge.

American Foreign Academic Research (AFAR)

American Foreign Academic Research, more commonly recognized as AFAR, is an organization dedicated to the advancement of archaeological field research, cultural site preservation, and the belief that the science can be advanced through the education and outreach of professionals and non-professionals alike. Since its inception in 2006, AFAR has pioneered full-scale international archaeological research incorporating pre-collegiate students, driven historically important site preservation initiatives, as well as developed outreach and educational programs for all ages and experiences. AFAR bridges the academic and non-academic worlds and works to educate and engage the youngest elementary students to intellectually curious senior citizens. Through education, research, and financial support, American Foreign Academic Research is actively opening the eyes of the world to the wonders of archaeology.
