Our diversity of programs addresses the most pressing needs for society. Technological
research and advances are delivering solutions from workforce development to
entrepreneurship. As an Institute of Science and Innovation at the University of
California, Merced, students make up the talent pool. Their unconventional innovation
yields results in creative education programs, like NexTech Robotics, and
entrepreneurial solutions.
</p>
<p>
At CITRIS UCM, in addition to our research portfolio, we focus on education and outreach
programs that change the face of technology, train the next generation of tech leaders,
and contribute to tech solutions in the interest of society. Our foci are:
</p>

Ag-Food-Tech
</h2>
<p>
The University of California, Merced is in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, one
of the most agriculturally productive regions in the world and a testbed for
innovation. We partner with industry leaders, growers, and natural resources
managers as well as the UCANR Agricultural Research and Extension Center to develop
the next generation of agricultural leaders, to establish employment-education
experiences and preparation, and to invent the next technological solution to
agricultural, food and natural resource issues in the San Joaquin Valley and beyond.
</p>
<!-- <p>
How will we feed 10 billion people? How can natural resources be used even more
efficiently? What do the students of today need to understand about agriculture to
feed the people of tomorrow?
</p>
<p>
Ag-Food-Tech is an emergent strength of UC Merced鈥檚 faculty, with representation of
experts from across the campus. Faculty address many aspects of production and adapt
tools for food processing, contributing to many different production systems and
California鈥檚 diversity of over 400 crops.
</p>
<p>
CITRIS Research on Ag-Food-Tech, or CRAFT, hosts the Ag-Bag for industry leaders to
speak with faculty, Ag-Food-Tech roundtables to learn from industry leaders, and
other events and programs.
</p>
<h4>Labor AND AUTOMATION IN CALIFORNIA AGRICULTURE (LACA)</h4>
<p>
Funded in 2021 by the University of California Office of the President Multi-Campus
Research Program Initiative, the Labor and Automation in California Agriculture
(LACA) assembles interdisciplinary researchers to solve food system resilience and
human-centered agriculture technology to transform the workforce and environment of
the future. This MRPI includes researchers from University of California Mercerd,
Berkeley, Davis, and Riverside.
</p>
<h4>
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY FOOD AND AGRICULTURE CYBERINFORMATICS TOOLS AND SCIENCE (FACTS)
BRIDGE PROGRAM
</h4>
<p>
Building a future in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley means participating in the
most productive agricultural area in the world. This program will help students
explore opportunities in multiple aspects of agriculture. Students will learn about
agriculture generally, from production to mechanical harvesting and processing, from
massive processing plants to small farm stands.
</p> -->
<h2 class=major2>
Expanding Diversity and Gender Equity in Tech (EDGE)
</h2>
<p>
The EDGE in Tech Initiative at the University of California (EDGE in Tech) is
committed to addressing the challenges faced by women and under-included identities
in STEM, and specifically, engineering and computer science fields by serving as a
trusted center and resource that integrates research with action.
</p>
<h2 class=major2>
CITRIS Education & Extension
</h2>
<p> The changing technological world requires everyone to level-up. We develop programs that
not only build skills, but inspire engagement with technology at every-level.</p>
<p> For middle school students in Merced and the surrounding areas, <a href='/nextech'
target="_blank">NexTech Robotics</a>
introduces computational thinking in a fun, hands-on way.</p>
<p> For adult learners, visit <a href='/citris-extension' target="_blank">CITRIS
Extension</a> to build skills in Google Earth Engine and
drone piloting.</p>
<h2 class="major2">CITRIS Entrepreneurship</h2>
<p>From Engineering Capstone projects solving real-world problems to UC Merced鈥檚 Oxygen
Fund, CITRIS supports the innovation of entrepreneurs who build something from nothing.
If you don鈥檛 invent it, who will? </p>
<p>
Follow the <a
href=https://citris.ucmerced.edu/news/CITRIS-Foundry-Incubator-Fall-2021-Application
target=_blank>CITRIS Foundry</a> to receive information on upcoming trainings and
presentations.
</p>
<h2 class=major2>Student-Led Projects</h2>
<p>
Students are the driving force for creativity and the engine behind all our outreach and
education programs. Sometimes our bright students will bring novel ideas to CITRIS and
lead startups.
