READ OUR STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK 2012-2017
CARTHA (doer in Sanskrit) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that cultivates academic-practitioner networks of Collaborative Doers. These Carthans form a network of scientists, physicians, writers, artists, entrepreneurs, comedians, filmmakers, and public citizens. United by the shared objective of leveraging technological and social innovations to advance global good, these networks span five continents and three generations. These linkages in turn bridge the fields of Technology Transfer, Global Health, Sustainability, and Social Responsibility.
CARTHA's educational programs, based on our C2G2 training model, provide a conduit for spurring innovative thought, community outreach, and cross-sector partnerships. GlocalizerTM forums with Carthans and other speakers emphasize the social dimensions that influence and affect the human collaborative spirit indispensable for engaging in humanitarian endeavors.
In 2011, our Board member Ana Vasudevan launched "CARTHA at Berkeley" as our first student chapter.
