Join experts from artificial intelligence (AI) and data science, thematic applications, engineers and research scientists active in the field of foundation models (FMs) applied to climate, weather, Earth observation (EO), and Earth sciences from across the globe in this workshop hosted by NASA and ESA (European Space Agency).
The Second ESA-NASA International Workshop on AI Foundation Model for Earth Observation will focus on further strengthening cross-agency and cross-disciplinary collaboration between the EO and AI/FM communities to advance the transition of foundation models from research prototypes to operational, trustworthy, and impactful Earth science tools.
The key goal of the workshop is to foster meaningful exchange across science, applications, and operations, while creating space for emerging topics such as agentic AI, novel applications, benchmarking frameworks, and responsible AI use.
