8 AM - 6 PM
The need for concerted global action to
address our climate change crisis is the most urgent challenge
of our times. Sustainable solutions to meet the world’s
growing energy requirements demand vision, innovation, and
leadership to define the appropriate policies, develop new
technologies and to implement these in an ever-changing and
ever-demanding market. These issues are highly
interdisciplinary, spanning science, technology, policy, law,
and business. At the forefront of this activity is
the University of California, Berkeley, and
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, both of whom are
committed to a position of global energy research leadership
across multiple disciplines.
We are pleased to announce the 2008 UC
Berkeley Energy Symposium: Leadership at the Nexus of Science, Policy & Business. The 2008 symposium brings together
leaders in energy from both the public and private sectors to
discuss the innovative science, technology, and requisite public
policies that will shape the future of energy in the United States and
across the globe.
The 2008 Symposium features speakers and panels
on the following topics:
-
Bioenergy Research at
