About California Council on Science and Technology
The California Council on Science and Technology is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that engages leading experts in science and technology to advise State policymakers — ensuring that California policy is strengthened and informed by scientific knowledge, research, and innovation. Established via a unanimous vote of the California State Legislature, CCST has been making California's policies stronger with science and technology since 1988.
In 1988, a coalition of policymakers and institutional leaders were seeking ways to catalyze the role of science and technology in California’s future direction in research, industry, and policy. The effort resulted in Assembly Concurrent Resolution 162 - championed by then-Assemblymember Sam Farr and then-Senator John Garamendi - calling for the creation of CCST. ACR 162 was approved by unanimous vote in both the Assembly and the Senate.
California has seen great advances and new challenges since then, and CCST has been invited as a voice of counsel at each turn. Over the past 35 years, our approach to partnering and facilitating dialogue across institutions and disciplines has allowed us to create a collective impact that exceeds what any single institution could accomplish on its own.
