Mila believes in fostering a sustainable future for the benefit of all. In response to the increasing urgency of global environmental and climate challenges, we are proud to announce the launch of our first-ever Sustainability Scholarship Program.
This initiative reflects Mila's ongoing commitment to sustainability, inspired by the work of our Sustainability Committee, which was established in 2022, and brings together the various academic, student, and employee communities that make up our organization.
The program aims to support students who are passionate about driving innovation at the intersection of artificial intelligence, climate, and sustainability. We believe that by empowering emerging researchers tackling critical environmental challenges, we can contribute to shaping a more sustainable future.
Discover two inspiring student projects that are making an impact through innovative solutions in sustainability:
- ClimateSet: A Large-Scale Climate Model Dataset for Machine Learning by Julia Kalenborn (presented at NeurIPs 2023). Learn more
- Bird Distribution Modelling using Remote Sensing and Citizen Science data by Mélisande Teng (presented at ICML 2023). Learn more
We hope this program will contribute to Mila's ongoing efforts in sustainability, aligning with our strategic priorities on environment and energy.
