The Berkeley Energy & Resources Collaborative (BERC) is a student-led organization whose mission is to connect and develop the UC Berkeley energy and resource community. The group acts as a bridge between the many schools, programs, and labs at the University, including the Boalt Hall School of Law, College of Chemistry, College of Engineering, College of Natural Resources, Energy & Resources Group, Goldman School of Public Policy, Haas School of Business, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, UC Energy Institute, and others. To foster productive applications of university research and technology, BERC also forges connections with the larger energy and cleantech cluster that is growing in the Bay Area and beyond.
