19.5.2020 18:02:12 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
UC Berkeley Extension is proud to announce the launch of UC Berkeley Global . This new brand expands UC Berkeley’s long-standing mission to provide educational access to its local and international global communities.
“Now more than ever, we must realize that our lives are interconnected, and that education has always been the most effective way to develop cultural humility,” says Dean Diana Wu. “We define global as a mindset rather than a geography. We’re seeking students who want to expand beyond their comfort zones and learn from peers here in Berkeley and across the world.”
Eligible students can apply for Berkeley Global’s many programs across dozens of subjects in science, technology, business, and arts & letters. Formats range from online self-paced courses to full-time study abroad, as well as a new version called “Live Online .” This modality combines the convenience of online study with instructor-led sessions.
“It’s important that we meet a variety of student needs,” says Wu. “We have programs for high schoolers seeking an American educational experience to seasoned professionals upskilling for a major career transition. UC Berkeley Global students can take courses right alongside other Berkeley students with some of the top faculty in the world, or study a specialized topic from industry experts. Flexibility is an important part of the student journey.”

Berkeley Global extends the reach of UC Berkeley’s impact by providing access and opportunities to a broad and diverse community of international learners. Students come from all over the world to study at the top-ranked public university.

For the major economies, the transformation towards a climate-neutral industry is one of the central tasks for the coming decades. While the European Union has pledged climate neutrality by 2050, China’s goal is to be climate-neutral by 2060. Hydrogen is a key to transforming their manufacturing and energy industry. However, the actual market development is lagging behind these ambitious objectives: According to the Global Energy Report 2025, only 11 percent of hydrogen projects announced since the start of the decade are now in operation or have been secured by investment decisions. This is why ees Europe, Europe’s largest and most international exhibition for batteries and energy storage systems, is putting a spotlight on hydrogen. The newly aligned exhibition segment Hydrogen Dialogue Forum & Expo in hall B2 will be giving in-depth information about the opportunities for hydrogen technology, technological innovation, savings potential and ground-breaking projects from June 23–25.
