The NuTS (Numérique en Terre Solide) network is organizing a thematic event focused on the intersection of artificial intelligence and Earth sciences. This two-day gathering will be held at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris from Monday noon, July 7, to early afternoon on Tuesday, July 8. The event features two half-day sessions with invited speakers designed to foster interdisciplinary dialogue: one emphasizing scientific challenges in the geosciences community, and the other highlighting methodological advances in AI. A convivial gathering between the sessions will provide opportunities for informal exchange and networking. The primary goal is to stimulate new collaborations between researchers in Earth sciences and artificial intelligence, encouraging mutual understanding and joint innovation. The organizers also intend this event to be the first in a recurring series that strengthens ties between these communities. Participation in the event is free, with venue and refreshments covered by the organizers; however, attendees are expected to use their own research funds for travel and accommodation. Attendees will have the opportunity to present their work in form of a poster during the poster session.

The event will take place in the main amphitheater of the institut de physique du globe de Paris, 1 Rue Jussieu 75005 Paris.

Please consider this as a tentative program. The titles will be announced later.
