General information
- Short Summary
- A R&D Centre based in Italy, active since 2005, that operates in the fields of climate science, environmental studies, and sustainable development, is currently seeking partners with expertise in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Analysis, and Climate & Environmental research to collaborate on future projects. The Centre has several offices across Italy and an extensive experience in managing National Recovery and Resilience Plan funds.
- Full Description
-
The consequences of climate change in Europe and globally extend beyond human and territorial impacts, significantly affecting economic systems—most notably agriculture and tourism. In response, an Italian-based R&D centre dedicated to climate science and environmental studies is launching a global search for top-tier expertise in artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and machine learning.
This exploratory initiative targets not individuals but organizations: research centres, companies, spin-offs, and innovative startups. The centre adopts an interdisciplinary methodology, combining advanced technologies with data-driven approaches to address the complex challenges of climate change and sustainability. To this end, it is preparing a three-year strategic program and is actively seeking partners with strong competencies in AI, ML, data analysis, and environmental research. The objective is to establish collaborative partnerships that can drive forward innovative, science-based projects with real-world environmental impact. - Advantages and Innovations
- In the EU, the challenge in addressing climate change is not the lack of public funding or technical expertise—both are abundantly available. The real paradox lies in the persistent disconnect between policymakers and the innovation ecosystem. Bridging this gap is crucial. To that end, targeted scouting activities are essential to identify top talent across Europe and beyond. The objective is to facilitate meaningful connections between public decision-makers—who allocate or manage financial resources—and private actors with deep, specialized expertise, capable of operating in multidisciplinary environments and delivering tangible solutions for climate mitigation and adaptation. The focus is not solely on climate scientists, but increasingly on companies skilled in the intelligent analysis of information and data. The core innovation of this strategy is the transformation of wide data flows into actionable knowledge, automated decision-making, and ultimately, effective climate strategies. This requires not only data scientists, but also experts in the statistical and economic interpretation of complex datasets—professionals who can translate data into impact.
