Centre for Environmental Intelligence

Centre for Environmental Intelligence

At the University of Exeter we are leading the way to a sustainable future through application of data science and artificial intelligence (AI) to urgent environmental and sustainability challenges.

Harnessing this ‘Environmental Intelligence’, in partnership with organisations across different sectors from industry to government, the Centre for Environmental Intelligence is providing meaningful insights that inform decision-making, improve risk management, and enable the development of new technological solutions, whilst considering their social and ethical implications.
