News and Events

The newest addition to UCOP is the University of California Livermore Collaboration Center (UCLCC) — a three-building complex on the east side of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), which was the result of an extensive renovation that took place from September 2021 through May 2022.

The UCLCC serves as a hub to expand collaborations and partnerships between UC campuses and three national labs — LLNL, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The complex operates under UC National Labs (UCNL)  and was the dream of LLNL Director Kim Budil and Interim Vice President of UCNL June Yu.

On November 9, 2023, we hosted the On the Road program in Livermore at the UC Livermore Collaboration Center (UCLCC). Speakers were:  Kamyar Aram (Regional needs assessment for winegrape production), Megan Bartlett (Irrigation Management for Late-Season Dehydration), David Block (Understanding and controlling extraction in red wine fermentations), Akif Eskalen (How to manage powdery mildew, Botrytis bunch rot, and trunk diseases of grapevine using synthetic, biological and organic fungicides), and Anita Oberholster (Grapevine Red Blotch Virus and Disease: latest update). The presentations were good, there were a lot of questions from attendees, and the atmosphere was extremely interactive. Thank you to our hosts at the UCLCC.

On The Road programs are educational seminars that help us to communicate with the California grape and wine industries by bringing faculty to different regions of California. We present relevant topics or current research and, at the same time, listen to the issues that are important to grape growing and winemaking professionals.

The CfHEDS team gathered for two days of presentations and discussions on our collaborations in research, education, and training, Sept 28-29 2023, at the newly opened University of California Livermore Collaboration Center.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) today announced that Grace Gu, a faculty member in mechanical engineering at the University of California (UC), Berkeley, has been selected as the inaugural recipient of the LLNL Early Career UC Faculty Initiative.

The initiative is a joint endeavor between LLNL’s Strategic Deterrence Principal Directorate and UC national laboratories at the University of California Office of the President, seeking to foster long-term academic partnerships and provide UC faculty members with funding and Lab support for their research…

The High Performance Computing for Energy Innovation program will be hosting a special in-person workshop to discuss further deployment of high performance computing (HPC) to advance manufacturing on Oct. 18-19 at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL) University of California Livermore Collaboration Center (UCLCC)

The workshop will explore future developments in the HPC4EI program…
