AI for Earth Observation & Climate Symposium

The AI for Earth Observation & Climate Symposium is convened in Abu Dhabi on 16–17 November 2026 by MBZUAI Nexus, the global research and convening network of the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence — the UAE's dedicated, graduate-level AI institution. It sits within a broader Nexus season of focused symposia, marking the university's push to position the Gulf as a serious node in international AI research.

As the title makes plain, the meeting concentrates on the application of machine learning to Earth observation and climate science: the analysis of satellite and remote-sensing data, environmental modelling, and the use of AI to better understand and respond to a changing planet. This is a genuinely research-led gathering rather than a commercial expo, and attendees can expect the academic register that MBZUAI's faculty and visiting speakers bring — technical talks, cross-disciplinary exchange, and the chance to connect with researchers working at the intersection of AI and the geosciences. For climate scientists, remote-sensing specialists, data scientists and graduate researchers, the symposium offers a concentrated window onto a fast-growing field, hosted by an institution investing heavily in both the methods and the regional research infrastructure.
