As the changing climate and intensifying human activities put more pressure on marine resources, new strategies are needed to protect the health of marine and aquatic ecosystems. The EU’s Innovation Mission on Ocean Restoration sets out its aspirations for healthy European seas and waters; in the context of continuing technological advances, it also raises questions about how artificial intelligence could support marine protection.
As part of a programme of work to explore how AI can contribute to the EU’s Innovation Missions, we’d like to invite you to participate in an interactive workshop that will investigate how AI can support marine ecosystem protection. Might you be interested in joining this event?
The workshop will take place on 10 January 2023 13:00 – 16:00 (UK) / 14:00 – 17:00 (CET) via Zoom. If you’d like to attend, then register here. Or contact Sue Sebborn on sls77@cam.ac.uk for more information.
How can AI help conquer cancer? Join us for this interactive workshop exploring how artificial intelligence technologies can help understand the causes of cancer, develop prevention programmes, and deliver improvements in diagnosis and treatment.
2.7 million people in the EU are diagnosed with cancer each year. The EU’s ‘Conquering Cancer’ Mission seeks to improve cancer care and life quality for patients and survivors. Convened by the ELISE network, this workshop will consider the role of AI in delivering this mission, and what action is needed to unlock the potential of AI for health. Discussions will generate a roadmap for the deployment of AI to improve cancer care and outcomes.
The workshop will take place on 17 January 13:00 – 16:00 (UK) / 14:00 – 17:00 (CET) via Zoom. If you’d like to attend, then register at this link. Or contact Sue Sebborn on sls77@cam.ac.uk.
The EU’s cities mission aims to deliver 100 climate-neutral, smart cities by 2030 and ensure these cities can provide innovation hubs to support all European cities to reach this status by 2050. Achieving these goals will require action to improve urban planning, increase the sustainability of urban mobility, and deliver clean energy districts, amongst other interventions. This workshop will explore how AI can help, identifying where further AI research and policy development can unlock innovation.
The workshop will take place on 19 January 2023 13:00 – 16:00 (UK) / 14:00 – 17:00 (CET) via Zoom. If you’d like to attend, then register here. Contact Sue Sebborn on sls77@cam.ac.uk for more information.
Between 60-70% of EU soils are unhealthy. Despite their vital importance to food production, water systems, and biodiversity, this scarce resource is too often neglected. Innovative solutions are needed to tackle issues such as desertification, loss of organic carbon stocks, soil pollution, soil sealing, and erosion, while increasing understanding of the vital role soils play in healthy ecosystems. This workshop will consider how AI can contribute to a transition to healthy soils, building on the ‘Soil Deal for Europe’.
The workshop will take place on 23 January2023 13:00 – 16:00 (UK) / 14:00 – 17:00 (CET) via Zoom. If you’d like to attend, then register here. Contact Sue Sebborn on sls77@cam.ac.ukfor more information.
