On 7-10 October 2025, the kick-off workshop for the semester-long programme AlgoEarth will take place at the University of Cologne, Germany.
In case, the session takes place in Lecture Hall 4.001 on the 4th floor, please use the entrance at Höninger Weg 100, 50969 Cologne. Ring the bell labeled “Hörsaal Universität Köln – Öffnungszeit 7–18 Uhr” to enter; the door will open automatically.
In a changing climate, vulnerability to severe weather events increases significantly. Next-generation observation techniques offer exciting insights, but also pose new challenges in terms of large data volumes and information content. The main objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from Computer Science (algorithm design, machine learning) and Geosciences (earth observations) who are interested in interdisciplinary research on the algorithmic and machine learning challenges posed by new earth observation systems such as satellites, etc. in order to exploit their full potential for earth system modelling and analysis, in particular for weather and climate prediction.
The workshop will include
- invited talks by leading experts
- contributed talks
- posters
- discussions
Location: University of Cologne, Institute of Geophysics and Meteorology, Pohligstraße 3, 50969 Cologne, Lecture hall 4.001
Call for contributions: Want to contribute? We welcome abstract submissions for posters or short talks here. Please indicate whether you would prefer a poster or an oral presentation. We aim to offer an oral or poster presentation to all suitable applicants. Decisions will be made by the PIs of the AlgoEarth Semester based on the availability of slots, the scientific relevance of the contribution to the event, and its quality. Submission deadline for short talks is 31 July; decisions will be communicated by the end of August at the latest. The submission deadline for posters is 15 September; decisions will be communicated by 23 September at the latest.
