NASA'S AMES RESEARCH CENTER, Moffett Field, Calif., and San Jose State University (SJSU) have signed an agreement to establish the Metropolitan Technology Center (MTC) at the center's NASA Research Park. SJSU will act as the California State University system lead to develop the MTC to foster research collaborations between Ames and the CSU system.

Such collaborations could include participation by SJSU graduate students in NASA research and the formation of joint university/NASA research teams. California officials said they expect the MTC to have a major impact on the economic and social development of Silicon Valley. "Our goal is to develop a world-class, shared-use [research and development] campus by partnering with industry, academia and nonprofits in the NASA Research Park," said Ames director Henry McDonald.
