Workshop on Machine Learning for Earth System Modelling

The workshop brings together researchers and practitioners working at the interface of machine learning and Earth system sciences to exchange perspectives and discuss recent advances in large-scale ML approaches for Earth system modelling. Topics will include:

• Machine learning-based numerical weather prediction
• Machine learning-based climate models and climate models
• Machine learning-based Earth system component models
• Use of Earth system observations for training
• Evaluation and explainability of the above models and studies on their limits and physicality
• Datasets for model training, evaluation and benchmarks

Registration and abstract submission will open on 29 April 2026.

Dates: 24-26 August 2026

Location: Universitätsclub Bonn, Konviktstraße 9, 53113 Bonn, Germany, and online

Fees: Online participation 75 €, on-site participation 240 €, on-site for students 140 €
