Applications are live for ESIIL’s 2023 Hackathon, Environmental MosAIc - Track I!

Environmental MosAIc isn’t just another hackathon. It’s a cauldron where the sciences meet technology, creating a rich mosaic of innovation. Join environmental scientists, data analysts, and AI experts from academia, non-profits, and the public sector under one digital roof to collaborate and provide solutions to on-the-ground environmental needs in a respectful and inclusive environment.

In addition, this opportunity includes:

  • Networking
  • Training on environmental data science
  • Training on artificial intelligence
  • Training on cyberinfrastructure
  • Connecting with funding agencies and community partners
  • Resources to address challenges in environmental biology

Who should participate in Environmental MosAIc - Track I?

Anyone interested in environmental data science and AI!

When is the event?

November 15-17, 2023.

What will we ask you to do?

Join a team of environmental scientists, data experts, and coders, to explore the data sets, propose a scientific question that can be addressed with all or some of the data sets, frame the question as an AI problem, and present your proposal to a panel of experts.

What are we offering?

We’ll provide mentors, a data cube with environmental data for the globe, cyberinfrastructure, data science training, and technical support.

All teams will receive feedback from a panel of experts from the National Science Foundation (NSF), North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (NC CASC), academics, and other community partners. The best proposal will receive a financial award to meet in person (via ESIIL’s working groups) as well as cyberinfrastructure, and technical and scientific support to complete their project.

Apply here by September 22. Successful applicants will be informed by October 6.

If you have any additional questions, needs, or concerns, please contact Virginia Iglesias at Virginia.Iglesias@colorado.edu.

Please share this with anyone who may be interested!

Thanks,

The ESIIL Team
