On February 1, 2007, BP Amoco PLC (formerly British Petroleum) announced that it had chosen the University of California at Berkeley, in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, to host the Energy Biosciences Institute (EBI). Funded with $500 million over 10 years, the agreement would double the amount of corporate funding for research on campus, and change the direction of biofuels research on this campus for years to come.
We are a UC Berkeley-based student campaign formed to oppose this deal. We insist that UC Berkeley must commit itself to responsible, accountable research in the interest of social justice and sustainability.
