What if the same land could grow food and generate clean energy?

Join Dr. Lisa Bosman from Purdue University on August 26 for a conversation on agrivoltaics and how combining solar and agriculture could create more sustainable, resilient communities.

Dr. Vivek Garimella will moderate and take live questions from participants. Dr. Garimella is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Rice University in Houston, Texas (USA). Prior to Rice, Dr. Garimella was at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign where he participated in the SCAPES agrivoltaics project supported by the USDA.

Join us for an in-depth conversation, ask questions and meet like-minded people around the world.

Virtual Event:
August 26th
11:00 ET / 15:00 UTC

Discover the opportunities, challenges, and innovations shaping the future of agrivoltaics.

Experts are calling for urgent reform in technical education as AI reshapes the global job market.

With millions of young people lacking future-ready digital skills, leaders warn that education systems must evolve to include AI, tech literacy, and 21st-century skills, or risk leaving a generation behind.

The future of work is changing fast. Education must keep up.

What does it take to electrify industry?

From proven technologies like high-temperature heat pumps and electrode boilers to the policies and economics driving adoption, experts from UC Santa Barbara's 2035 Initiative answer the questions shaping the future of industrial heat.

As industry works toward lower emissions, understanding what works, and how to scale it, has never been more important.

Fresh produce shouldn't go to waste because of a lack of refrigeration.

The CoolVeg Foundation is developing low-energy evaporative cooling chambers that help farmers and grocers keep fruits and vegetables fresh for longer using affordable, locally available materials and as little as 200W of electricity.

These innovative systems can reduce post harvest food loss, strengthen the cold chain, and help smallholder farmers increase their income, all while expanding access to sustainable cooling solutions.

Second-life batteries offer major opportunities for clean energy access in the Global South, but they also present complex engineering and systems challenges.

From safety and data gaps to informal supply chains and recycling tradeoffs, designing these systems requires thinking beyond reuse alone and planning for the full circular economy.

A useful reminder: second-life batteries are not plug and play, they require careful design, conservative assumptions, and strong system-level coordination.
