HIDA CIFAR Summer School on Data Science & Climate
CIFAR and HIDA are jointly organizing an in-person summer school dedicated to Data Science for Climate. Designed for doctoral researchers and Post-Docs, this program explores how data science and emerging technologies can drive interdisciplinary climate research. Participants will engage with the intersection of artificial intelligence, climate science, and remote sensing, gaining exposure to diverse methodologies and specialized applications. The curriculum balances theoretical insights with practical experience.
Look forward to
- Expert-Led Sessions: Engage with renowned scientists through keynotes, panel discussions, and interactive lectures.
- Hands-On Data Exploration: Work with a real-world dataset from the Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), applying remote sensing and imaging techniques to extract meaningful insights.
- Collaborative Group Project: Tackle an assignment in small, interdisciplinary teams using GFZ’s dataset, fostering problem-solving and teamwork.
- Practical Training: Learn from specialists in courses and workshops
- Networking & Career Insights: Connect with experts and fellow participants from diverse fields, expanding your research and career opportunities.
Participation Requirements
Participants must be PhD students or postdoctoral fellows either affiliated with Helmholtz or as a student of a CIFAR program member. The Summer School will include equal participation from Helmholtz students and CIFAR program trainees.
For Helmholtz spots, applications from the six Helmholtz Information & Data Science Schools - MUDs, HIDSS4Health, MarDATA, HDS-LEE, HEIBRIDS, DASHH - will be given priority.

Our partner: CIFAR
CIFAR is an independent, non-profit research organization based in Toronto, Canada. Since 1982, CIFAR has brought together outstanding researchers from across the globe to tackle the most pressing and complex questions facing humanity. Its mission is to catalyze breakthroughs by supporting long-term, interdisciplinary research that crosses traditional boundaries.
At the core of CIFAR’s approach are its research programs – long-term collaborations of top-tier scientists working across disciplines, institutions, and borders. These programs address challenges such as artificial intelligence, brain and mind, child and youth development, Earth resilience, and the future of democracy and society.
CIFAR is not only committed to advancing fundamental science, but also to translating research into real-world impact – by informing public policy, guiding innovation, and shaping the broader public conversation.
