Berkeley Energy and Resources Collaborative (BERC)

As one of the largest student organizations in California, Berkeley Energy & Resources Collaborative (BERC) is a multidisciplinary network of UC Berkeley students, alumni, faculty, industry professionals, and advisors who seek to turn world-leading research into world-changing solutions by tackling tough and timely energy and environmental challenges. More specifically, BERC’s mission is to connect, educate, and engage its members in order to foster innovation and action. We plan and host a variety of conferences and events across the year, including the annual Energy Summit and Resources Symposium, monthly “BERCshop” panels, the Clean Energy Speaker Series course at the Haas School of Business, and the annual Climate Change 101 event for Berkeley students. Our partnership with the Energy Institute at Haas helps us provide our members with opportunities to engage with cutting-edge research and current industry applications.
