CITRIS Day

CITRIS Day is the inaugural showcase of emerging research, leading-edge applications, collaboration opportunities and societal impact at the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS). On October 13, 2015, we welcome faculty, students and collaborators from across the four CITRIS campuses to our headquarters at UC Berkeley for an engaging day of panel discussions, prototype demonstrations and new connections around the theme of "Data, Discovery & Learning in the Interest of Society."
