The mission of the Science, Technology, and Society Center (STSC) is to advance understanding of scientific and technological practice and knowledge in their local, national and international settings, coordinating and promoting scholarship, teaching, and outreach regarding their deep intertwinings in society.
Berkeley’s STSC is uniquely positioned within IAS to emphasize our commitment to scholarship on science, technology and society in a globalizing world.
Among our organizing themes are: sustained inquiry into open and closed science; overcoming local and global divides; links between science and democracy.

Program
Chancellor's Stem Cell Initiative at STSC Chancellor Birgeneau has recently allocated funds to jump start UC Berkeley's brand new Stem Cell Center. Through the STSC, a proportion of the Chancellor's funds will be made available for research and training in the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) of stem cell research. These funds are being used to support the Regional Oral History Office's comprehensive stem cell archive, and four ELSI conferences. In addition to the comprehensive stem cell archive and the conferences, the ELSI effort will include the training of a number of graduate and undergraduate students, under the Stem Cells and Humanities grant awarded to Professors Cori Hayden and Chris Thompson by the Townsend Center for the Humanities. If you have questions about the ELSI Program or funds application process , please contact Professor Charis Thompson. Charis Thompson, STSC Co-Director, is the Project Director for the Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues (ELSI) portion of UC Berkeley's Stem Cell initiative. UC STS Network Wiki
