NEW DELHI: The AI4NetZero Team at the EnERG Lab, IIT Madras, will organise a three-day hands-on workshop titled “AI in Action: Climate and Energy Systems Applications” from August 7 to August 9, 2026. The programme will focus on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Data Science in climate research, energy systems and renewable power technologies.The workshop is aimed at students, researchers and industry professionals who want to understand practical applications of AI in addressing challenges related to energy transition and climate solutions.Workshop to explore AI applications in energy systemsDuring the three-day programme, participants will be introduced to data-driven decision-making methods and their role in modern energy systems. The sessions will cover AI applications in renewable energy forecasting, power-system optimisation, predictive maintenance and climate modelling.Participants will receive practical training through guided Google Colab tutorials and work with real datasets and reusable notebooks. The hands-on approach will help attendees understand how AI tools can be applied to analyse energy data and develop technology-based solutions.
Experts to provide industry and academic insightsThe workshop will include sessions by experts from academia and industry working in the areas of artificial intelligence, climate technology and energy systems. Participants will get opportunities to interact with researchers and professionals involved in developing solutions for sustainable energy applications.The programme will also support networking among participants working or planning to work in AI, renewable energy and climate-focused research areas.Programme focuses on practical AI skillsThe AI4NetZero initiative at IIT Madras aims to encourage the use of artificial intelligence for climate and energy-related challenges. Through technical sessions and practical demonstrations, the workshop will provide participants with exposure to current AI methodologies used in energy and environmental applications.The organisers have designed the programme for individuals looking to develop applied AI skills, understand real-world use cases and explore the role of technology in supporting net-zero goals.
