As a research unit serving the entire UC system, IGCC builds project teams from all ten UC campuses and the UC-managed Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories.

IGCC researchers study a wide range of topics involving security, environmental, and economic policies that shape our ability to prevent conflict and promote cooperation across the globe.

IGCC builds bridges between the theory and practice of international policy. We inject fresh ideas into the process by establishing the intellectual foundations for effective policy-making, and provide ways
for UC faculty and students to interact with government officials at home and abroad through our collaborative, multi-campus projects and through our office at the UC Washington Center.
