Apply AI Strategy - Technical Workshop on Environment and Sustainability

An online workshop to investigate potential application areas of AI for Environment & Sustainability. Join the discussion!

As part of the upcoming Apply AI Strategy, the Commission is organising an online workshop to investigate potential application areas of AI for Environment & Sustainability. Application providers and end-users will join DG CNECT and DG ENV representatives to discuss AI applications and identify sector-specific challenges that might require action from the European Commission.

The outcomes of the workshop will be summarised in final sector-specific reports and will be combined with OECD or other reports to inform the state-of-play of AI adoption in the sector and serve as a basis for the high-level political meetings and for the further development of the Apply AI Strategy.

Objective

The Apply AI Strategy aims to accelerate AI adoption and innovation and boost new industrial uses of AI, and improve the delivery of public services, while leveraging European-made AI solutions.

Specific Goals
  • Present and identify impactful AI use-cases for the environment & sustainability sector
  • Analyse their requirements for implementation and scalability
  • Align AI solutions with EU strategic priorities  

Participants will:-

  • Provide structured feedback on AI use-cases.
  • Discuss implementation bottlenecks, such as data quality, lack of infrastructure and talent gaps.
  • Propose solutions
  • Brainstorm and prepare their input for the public consultation on the AI strategy to be published on 25 April (date subject to change)

We look forward to welcoming you to the workshop. Registration will remain open until 25 April. If you wish to express interest in pitching or participating in the roundtable, you can do so via the registration form below by 13 April.
