We are excited to announce the second annual EarthTech Symposium. Building on the
success of last year’s inaugural event, EarthTech2024 will once again bring together
experts from across campus to engage in discussions about the role of emerging
science and technologies in addressing society's most pressing challenges.

The Symposium is organized by the Bakar Institute of Digital Materials for the Planet in
collaboration with Berkeley Discovery.

This year we will also hear from undergraduate students who will present their research
projects focusing on electromagnetism applications.
