Upcoming activities and events organized by CESOC:

August 25-27, 2025: Third workshop on ‘Machine Learning for the Earth System Modelling’ (formally Large-Scale Deep Learning for the Earth System) that will take place again in Bonn, Germany, and online.

The workshop will discuss the latest developments on large-scale machine learning for Earth system modelling and will cover the following topics:

• Machine learning-based numerical weather prediction
• Climate emulators and machine learning-based climate models
• Machine learning-based Earth system component models, such as ocean and land models
• Incorporation of Earth system observations in the above models
• Evaluation and explainability of the above models
• Datasets for model training, evaluation and benchmarks

Registration and abstract submission will open in April 2025. For further details and updates, please visit: https://cesoc.net/third-workshop-on-machine-learning-for-the-earth-system/

August 27-29,2025: Hackathon on Machine Learning for the Earth System. Following the workshop on ML this hackathon is designed as a hands-on event for PhD students and early-career researchers passionate about applying ML to weather and climate research!

Why join? Gain insights from inspiring expert talks, tackle hands-on coding challenges, connect with leading researchers through mentorship and networking, and compete for exciting prizes. With two tracks—Beginner & Advanced—there’s a place for every skill level!
