Following in-person finals held at University College London and Harvard University this weekend, ClimateHack.AI 2023โ24 has just finished, and the winners can be announced! ๐ฅณ
On behalf of ClimateHack.AI, I would like to massively congratulate (i) Areel, Carter and Trevor from the University of Waterloo (Canada); (ii) Andrew, Grace, Tim and Val from the University of California, Berkeley (United States); and (iii) Tom and Michael from the University of Bristol (United Kingdom). ๐
Today, we are proud to be launching ClimateHack.AI 2023-24: an international grand challenge with a ยฃ20k prize pool bringing together students at 18 universities across the UK, the US and Canada to help tackle climate change with AI. ๐
Students will be competing to develop state-of-the-art machine learning methods for more accurately forecasting near-term site-level solar photovoltaic power generation using 600 gigabytes of satellite imagery, weather forecasts and air quality forecasts.
The competition has been organised in collaboration with Open Climate Fix, a non-profit lab focused on rapidly cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and is supported this year by Newcross Healthcare, University College London, PGIM Real Estate via their RealAssetX innovation lab, and Climate X.
