Climate & AI Workshop Event
03 oktober 2024 13:30 t/m 17:00 - Locatie: Mondai | House of AI - Delft | Zet in mijn agenda
On October 3rd 13:30 – 17:00 at Mondai | House of AI, TU Delft will have a first joint event between the Climate Action Programme and the AI Initiative. The event will bring together local researchers working on AI and climate related to domains to explore relevant overlaps and related opportunities. Purpose is to (further) delve into generating and shaping innovative ideas together. The programme includes introductions from the Pro Vice Rectors Herman Russchenburg (Climate) and Geert-Jan Houben (AI), short pitches from researchers, breakout groups on 5 themes and will be concluded with a borrel.
The following thematic crossroads will be further defined during this Climate & AI event and relevant opportunities explored:
- AI & Water and Infrastructure
- AI & Finance and Governance
- AI & Weather and Climate Risks
- AI & City Development and Urban Mobility
- (Green) AI & Energy and/or Sustainability (definitive title TBD)

AI and Climate / Climate and AI at TU Delft
In March 2024, the Climate Action Programme (CAP) dedicated their monthly lecture to ‘AI and Climate’ with a talk on “Machine-learning for understanding atmospheric physics” by Geet George (CEG) and Jing Sun (EEMCS) – recording and presentations available here. The CAP Academic Career Trackers of their 17 flagships recently also delved into AI with Angela Meyer (CEG) and AidroLab. A growing number of AI researchers also contribute to climate-related topics. A great example of this was the poster by Damla Akoluk (TPM), a PhD candidate from the HIPPO Lab, who presented her work on aggregation at the Climate Action Festival. Read more about how this inspiring day went here. The last TU Delft AI Lunch of 2023/2024 was themed “The unprecedented environmental impacts of AI: a transdisciplinary discussion” with panellists Benedetta Brevini (New York University), Olya Kudina (TPM), Fanny Hidvégi (Policy Director at the AI Collaborative) and moderator Roel Dobbe (TPM).
