CITRIS: +$275M Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of SocietyComputer Sciences Division-EECS-UCB • CITRIS draws from a variety of funding sources to build the necessary infrastructure to keep its research operation competitive. The State of California, in addition to the federal government through DARPA, has pledged over $100-million in support of CITRIS initiatives. • CITRIS's Founding Corporate Members have supported its research efforts from the beginning with a pledge to match government grant money dollar for dollar. In addition to their financial support, these information technology leaders share their talents, technologies and real-world expertise with scientists in the labs to forge practical solutions to daunting problems. • Founding Corporate Members Agilent; BroadVision; Conexant Systems; Ericsson; Hewlett-Packard; IBM; Infineon Technologies; Intel; Marvell Technology Group Ltd; Microsoft; Nortel Networks; STMicroelectronics; Sun Microsystems; Texas Instruments “Silicon Valley has been the engine of a revolutionary new economy, delivering information technology that has driven California business growth to new levels. Now it's time to aim such an effort at California's biggest challenges—energy efficiency, transportation, earthquake preparedness, health care, education, and others on the horizon.” CITRIS Program
