Corporate Engagement Opportunities

The BCCP’s education programs depend on volunteers for assistance. The Corporate Volunteer Program offers groups of corporate volunteers the opportunity to participate in the hands-on work  for the BCCP GTA. The Corporate Volunteer Program projects are designed to be enjoyable and fulfilling, and to give you and your employees a sense of ownership in our dynamic Global Teacher’s Academy. Projects may include preparation and participation at our annual academy (Berkeley-California, Seoul-South Korea, and Paris-France). Most projects require a full-day commitment to complete.  Some of our projects involve the opportunity to donate funds towards the purchase of necessary equipment and supplies for our teachers and students, which allows the BCCP GTA to enhance their resources for participants.

Please coordinate this opportunity with our Education Director, Dr. Rollie Otto to ascertain the dates and projects that are available. 

 

 

Co-Branded Sponsorship Opportunities

Essential Cosmology For the Next Generation


BCCP and its international partners launched a second school in 2010 and have been successful in establishing a prestigious, annual event that meets the demands of workforce development, diversity in a new science field, education and the advancement of science. Through global distribution, your company brand and message will be displayed on promotional materials, media and other opportunities that promote these priorities.  Essential Cosmology For the Next Generation creates the opportunity to support a diverse group of eminent scientists, researchers, students, and innovators in the modern Physics scene. Essential Cosmology for the Next Generation showcases innovations in training, communications and scientific interaction, utilizing the interdisciplinary approach essential for the new generation of cosmological data and interpretations. With world-class lectures, the latest astrophysical results and strong international collaborations, the conference presents a superb opportunity for significant impact on a diverse group of participants and, through high-quality web casting, to a far larger community at U.S. institutions and abroad. In addition, a public talk presented by Nobel Laureate George Smoot is organized with the local community, officials, and supporters invited to participate and interact with great minds in science.

 

In preparation for its international school in January 2011, BCCP will extend its reach to attract a wider group of academics, researchers and graduate students.   We intend to sponsor 30 U.S. participants and ask your support in naming these participants as your BCCP/(Name of your Company) Conference Scholars. Your sponsorship will help us lower the barrier of entry for a diverse group of men and women, thus helping to insure that the best minds working in this field will participate, connect and contribute to the advancement of science.   It will also guarantee you and your organization’s participation at the conference and public talk while in return, achieving prominent display of your brand and logo supporting frontier science and education at the global level. We have attached a sponsorship package that outlines opportunities and benefits to supporters.

 

The fields of Cosmology and Astrophysics are currently among the fastest growing and most exciting areas of research today. Many of the most recent research projects and experiments in this field are directly attributed to discovery and contributions made by Nobel Laureate Smoot.  Dr. Smoot’s work with the COBE satellite results provided increased support for the Big Bang scenario for the origin of the Universe. Dr. Smoot’s work at LBNL continues to move this field forward. Through the leadership of Dr. Smoot, scientists in the BCCP are working on several, major new research programs that are creating major steps forward in our understanding of the universe. BCCP provides an interdisciplinary framework for interactions between faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, educators and partners in Korea, Mexico, France, Germany, Japan and other countries around the world.
