The activity is highly relevant and novel within a social context because it directly addresses urgent and growing societal challenges—such as the increasing frequency and severity of floods in many EU countries—by equipping participants with the advanced skills needed to assess, model, and actual mitigation strategies of these risks. Its innovative approach integrates challenge &…
Scuola Normale Superiore, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna and Paris Sciences et Lettres are organising a workshop on sustainability in the age of polycrisis to strengthen the research and training capacities of young scholars, and to foster new collaborations among EELISA institutions for joint research and teaching initiatives. The workshop will feature interventions by scholars from the three organising institutions, but…
This activity consists of a 4-day hybrid workshop & hackathon for BSc, MSc, and PhD students across EELISA partner universities, to co-design, prototype, and benchmark “green AI” solutions that explicitly aim to minimize CO₂ emissions, energy consumption, and compute cost in model training and inference. Participants will engage in high-intensity teamwork (two full hack days)…
This 5-day in-field (Somport, Candanchú, Spain) training activity will immerse early-career researchers and advanced (MSC & PhD) students in the study of the cryosphere as a fundamental component of the Earth system. Addressing SDGs 13, 15, and 4, the activity focuses on the observation, measurement, and interpretation of processes in snow, ice, and permafrost environments, linking…
