7th October to 10th October

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 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
