AlgoEarth – Semester of Algorithmic Earth System Sciences

About AlgoEarth

We are organizing a semester of ”Algorithmic Earth System Science” at the University of Cologne and partners at the University of Bonn, the ECMWF, and the Research Center Jülich.

The main goal will be to bring together the reseachers from Algorithm Design, Machine Learning and Earth Oberservations that are interested in interdisciplinary research on the algorithmic challenges arising from new earth observation systems such as satellites, etc. to exploit their full potential for modelling and analzing the earth system, in particular, for weather and climate prediction.

What we are going to do:

  • Kick-off and networking event: Earth Observations meet Computer Science
  • Workshops
  • Fellowships for Early Career Scientists researchers
  • Public symposium and lectures

How to participate?

There will be several different possibilities to participate in the program, both for international researchers as well as local ones. The program will run from April 2025 until February 2026

External researchers can participate in the following ways:

  • Short-term (a few days, upto a week) and long-term faculty visits
  • A postdoc visitors program
  • Summer schools for PhD students at the organizing universities
  • Participation in specialized workshops at the organizing locations
  • Participating in a distingiushed lecture series at the organinzing locations
  • International faculty program
  • Summer internships for international students
  • Mutual visits of the participating partnersDo you want to be a fellow?
  • Do you want to be a fellow?
 
Local researchers can participate by
  • Organizing workshops and summer schools
  • Inviting and hosting international scholars
  • Participating in the workshops of the program

Students can participate in the distinguished lecture series and selected workshops.

The public is invited to the lecture series and the public panel discussion.
