Collaborate on Research That Moves Regions Forward
BCOE research consortia bring together university researchers, industry leaders, public agencies and community partners to advance practical solutions in clean transportation, emissions monitoring and renewable energy.
Through shared research priorities, technical expertise and long-term collaboration, partners help turn engineering discovery into real-world impact for California and beyond.
A research gateway for industry, government and community partners
Research partnerships help accelerate the path from engineering knowledge to deployable solutions. BCOE consortia create spaces where partners can share technical challenges, evaluate emerging technologies and collaborate with experts across transportation, energy, emissions and environmental systems.
These partnerships are especially connected to the Center for Environmental Research & Technology, or CE-CERT, where researchers work at the intersection of engineering, environmental quality, clean energy and sustainable mobility.
