Geo.X Young AI Academy - Generative AI for Earth System and Planetary Science

From ad-hoc AI use to a research-aligned AI practice

The Geo.X Young AI Academy – Generative AI for Earth System and Planetary Science is a 10-month programme for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in Earth System and Planetary Science. We support you in moving from ad hoc generative AI use to an individual, structured integration in your scientific workflows, grounded in critical evaluation, ethics, and responsible practice.
