The ERC is an   interdisciplinary, multi-institution organization with the vision to transform   the way society uses light by improving the energy-efficiency, productivity and   health of society. The mission of the ERC is three- fold:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>To engage in research   leading to controllable solid-state light systems that can adapt to specific   requirements, environments, and condition<\/li>\n<li>To develop a culture   of innovation and engage industry to commercialize the ERC&#8217;s research   results<\/li>\n<li>To work with   educators to develop the diverse world-class workforce that will be needed to   grow the business of Smart Lighting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The center is led by   Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, with Boston University and The University of   New Mexico as core partners. Howard University, Morgan State University, and   Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology are outreach and education partners.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please contact Linda Grosser, Public Relations and Industrial Outreach Coordinator for SLC at BU, at <a href=\"mailto:lgrosser@bu.edu\">lgrosser@bu.edu<\/a> or 617-358-1295, or Dr. Silvia Mioc, Director  of Industrial Collaborations, at <a href=\"mailto:miocs@rpi.edu\">miocs@rpi.edu<\/a>,  or 518-276-4010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday, February 5, 2010, 8:30 am \u2013 8:30 pm BU Photonics Center, 8 St. Mary&#8217;s St., Boston, MA 02215 Come learn about our efforts to transform how society uses light through developing LED-based systems with adaptive functionality which will increase energy-efficiency, productivity and health of society.
