The Luskin Center was founded with a generous gift from Renee and Meyer Luskin.

Our Mission: To unite UCLA scholars with forward-looking civic leaders to address the most pressing issues confronting our community, nation and world. ?? 

Our Model: Faculty and staff from a variety of academic disciplines across campus conduct research in partnership with civic leaders who use the knowledge to inform policy and organizational innovations. Civic partners include leaders from government agencies, non-profit organizations, business associations and the community. Click here for a list of civic partners.

The Center is organized around initiatives that seek to conduct and translate world-class research and expertise into real-world policy solutions. Current initiatives are linked by the themes of sustainability, energy and environmental justice.
