Berkeley Corporate Engagement Network

The Berkeley Corporate Engagement Network (BCEN) is a community of UC Berkeley professionals who work with industry partners. It aims to make corporate engagement across campus more coordinated and transparent, covering research collaborations, sponsored research, licensing, industry consortia, talent development and executive education.

BCEN holds monthly virtual meetings and quarterly in-person meetings, shares best practices, and builds campus-wide tools for finding and engaging corporate partners. Its site also has a For Companies section on partnership opportunities. The network is led by the Bakar Institute of Digital Materials for the Planet (BIDMaP) and the Industry Alliances Office within IPIRA.
