The rapid evolution of AI is reshaping scientific discovery across a wide range of research fields. At ISGC 2025, the focus will be on the practical deployment of AI technologies, particularly how they have been successfully integrated to accelerate research and address complex challenges. From machine learning models to large language models (LLMs), AI’s transformative impact is undeniable, and the conference will showcase real-world use cases and share valuable lessons learned in deploying these technologies. By showcasing the practical uses, ISGC 2025 aims to provide participants with actionable insights into how AI can be applied to enhance their research and drive innovation in their fields.
In parallel, hybrid quantum computing is emerging as a promising game changer, similar to the rise of AI in recent years. As quantum computing continues to complement traditional supercomputers, it holds the potential to solve problems that were previously thought intractable. ISGC 2025 will explore the current state of hybrid quantum systems, discussing their deployment and the challenges in integrating these cutting-edge technologies. Together, AI and quantum computing represent the future of computational science, offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation. ISGC 2025 will foster an environment for sharing ideas and solutions, helping participants refine their approaches and collaborate to overcome the challenges of deploying these transformative technologies.
ENVRI-Hub NEXT at ISGC 2025
Marta Gutiérrez David, Community Support Specialist at the EGI Foundation, is giving a keynote speech “Bridging Environmental Research Infrastructures in Europe, ENVRI-Hub Next” on 20 March at 11:45 local time.
The project ENVRI-Hub NEXT builds on years of collaboration to provide interoperable datasets, services, a knowledge base supported by AI-driven search engine and training across key Earth system domains—atmosphere, marine, ecosystems, and solid Earth—while leveraging advanced distributed e-infrastructures such as EGI.
This keynote will explore the technical foundations of the ENVRI-Hub gateway and its role in enabling environmental research infrastructures (RIs) to jointly investigate the full chain—from essential climate variables to global climate indicators and Earth system feedback mechanisms. The ENVRI-Hub is evolving towards establishing an Environmental Node, aligning with Europe’s vision of building the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Federation as a network of Nodes to support cross-disciplinary scientific research and innovation.
