Contributing to the advancement of research, relationships and solutions to the San Diego-Baja California crossborder region's long-term challenges in innovation, economy, health and education.

San Diego Dialogue, a self-funded public policy research center based at UCSD Extension, was founded in 1991 as a forum for discussion and consensus-building among the San Diego-Baja California cross-border community. Since its inception, the Dialogue has conducted research on long-term challenges and opportunities that the binational region faces, as well as encouraged the development and implementation of viable solutions to improve the crossborder regional quality of life.

Beginning in January 2007, San Diego Dialogue launched a major new program in partnership with the pharmceutical company Merck and its subsidiary in Mexico, Merck, Sharp, & Dohme. Called the Life Sciences Gateway Initiatve, this program continues the Dialogue's efforts to indentify opportunities to strengthen the global competitiveness of high value-added, high technology industries in the San Diego-Baja California region, and by extension California and Mexico.
