European Seminar on AI for Sustainability and Climate Change

This seminar aims to create a dynamic forum for dialogue and exchange at the intersection of AI, sustainability, and climate science. Participants will gain insights into the latest AI-driven innovations, understand the role of AI in achieving SDG targets, and explore collaborative strategies for responsible and effective AI implementation.

It also seeks to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration among academia, research centres, technology developers, public authorities, and civil society. By bringing these actors together, the event will promote practical applications of AI and support policy, education, and innovation pathways toward sustainability and climate resilience.

The Seminar will be held online and will include:

• Keynote lectures
• Thematic sessions (focused on sustainability and climate change)
• Awards Ceremony – Announcement of the winners of the European Universities AI Competition
