CloudEARTHi conference connects academics with businesses, public bodies and NGOs in order to explore how environmental sciences, sustainability, circular economy and the application of big data in business contexts can benefit society. The conference is organised within the CloudEARTHi initiative and funded by the European Union and EIT RawMaterials through the EIT HEI initiative. Some sessions and side events are funded by the Erasmus+ and the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA). It is the third of a conference series on Innovation Capacity Building in Environmental Sciences, Sustainability and Circular Economy in Higher Education Institutions and their Entrepreneurial Ecosystems.

To maximise the impacts and include all the stakeholders, we decided to plan the conference as a hybrid event. The hybrid format will allow all to contribute to the discussion regardless their busy agenda or limitation of their budget. Our registration allows for online or in person participation. Conference registration and attendance are free of charge (Thanks for the European Union and the EIT HEI initiative).

Our aim is to maximise the impact as we can, therefore we invite students (master and B.Sc levels) to contribute. A special session for the students will be prepared in order to bring their ideas into the spotlight and allow discussion with policy makers, business leaders and academics.

Please note the following important dates and deadlines:

We hope to make third CloudEARTHi conference 2024 a memorable event.
