The members of the Copenhagen Climate Council have come together to create global awareness of the importance of the UN Summit in Copenhagen 2009 and to ensure support and assistance to global decision makers when agreeing on a new climate treaty CITRIS The Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) creates information technology (IT) solutions for many of our most pressing social, environmental and healthcare problems. The first public-private partnership created to use IT in this way, CITRIS partners more than 300 faculty and thousands of students from myriad departments at four UC campuses (Berkeley, Davis, Merced and Santa Cruz) with industrial researchers from over 60 corporations.
