In its third year, the Energy Transition Symposium at UMass Amherst was an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff across the UMass Amherst campus to present their work on clean energy, climate, and decarbonization. This event was open to all fundamental and applied areas of energy research and climate action work including (but not limited to) work in STEM, social sciences, humanities, business, and interdisciplinary studies. We welcome area schools, colleges, and community members to attend.
The event consisted of several parallel poster sessions and a panel discussion.
