Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center (BSAC)

The Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center (BSAC) is the National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center on Microsensors and Actuators. From its founding in 1986, BSAC has, under its NSF charter, provided Industrial Member companies early pre-commercial and pre-publication access to important research results on a highly leveraged basis. This leverage derives from the funding model in which less than 15% of BSAC operating funds are provided from member fees, but in which Industrial Members have access to all research results of the Center. Industrial Member relationships with faculty, graduates, and students create unique opportunities for furtherance of our technology transfer goals.
