The Dado and Maria Banatao Center for Global Learning and Outreach from Berkeley Engineering (GLOBE) was established in 2005 to bring the world's best to Berkeley Engineering and Berkeley Engineering's best to the world.
Academic Programs
GLOBE fulfills this mission by establishing and supporting extensive educational and research programs with international partner universities. For example, GLOBE is helping the Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (CET) at UC Berkeley, jointly with Tsinghua University at Beijing, to launch the Global Technology Entrepreneurship Center (GTE) for Fall 2009 at Tsinghua University, Beijing.
Corporate Education Programs
GLOBE creates on- and off-campus customized corporate education programs for business and government leaders in topics such as technology entrepreneurship, innovation management, and potentially disruptive technological advances.
Internships
For Berkeley students, GLOBE is reaching out to international corporate partners for summer engineering internships abroad. The pilot program for internships in China, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong took place in Summer 2009. For 2010, the scope has broadened to include Europe and other continents.
