The SETI Institute is a not-for-profit research organization incorporated in 1984 whose mission is to explore, understand, and explain the origin and nature of life in the universe, and to use this knowledge to inspire and guide present and future generations, sharing knowledge with the public, the press, and the government.
The Berkeley SETI Research Center also hosts the Breakthrough Listen program, [4] [5] [6] which is a ten-year initiative with $100 million funding begun in July 2015 to actively search for intelligent extraterrestrial communications in the universe, in a substantially expanded way, using resources that had not previously been extensively used for the purpose.
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is a collective term for scientific searches for intelligent extraterrestrial life.Methods include monitoring electromagnetic radiation for signs of transmissions from civilizations on other planets, [1] [2] [3] optical observation, and the search for physical artifacts.
NASA SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Microwave Observing Project sites in 1992. The communication with extraterrestrial intelligence (CETI) is a branch of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) that focuses on composing and deciphering interstellar messages that theoretically could be understood by another technological civilization.

The SETI Institute named the telescope in Allen's honor. Overall, Paul Allen contributed more than $30 million to the project. The ATA is a centimeter-wave array which pioneers the Large-Number Small-Diameter concept of building radio telescopes .
Pierson incorporated the SETI Institute as a 501(c)(3) non-profit on November 20, 1984, and by February 1985 the Institute received its first grant for research supporting NASA's SETI Program. A few months later, the Institute received a second grant for Exobiology (later known as Astrobiology) research.
Active SETI (Active Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) is the attempt to send messages to intelligent extraterrestrial life. Active SETI messages are predominantly sent in the form of radio signals. Physical messages like that of the Pioneer plaque may also be considered an active SETI message.
The science program for Breakthrough Listen is based at Berkeley SETI Research Center, [5] [6] located in the Astronomy Department [7] at the University of California, Berkeley. The project uses radio wave observations from the Green Bank Observatory and the Parkes Observatory , and visible light observations from the Automated Planet Finder ...
