Background
University of Exeter is funded to deliver the UKRI College for Doctoral Training in Environmental Intelligence: Data Science & Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Sustainable Futures. Environmental Intelligence represents the use of Data Science & AI to create transformational science and tools to enable informed decision making across a range of sectors related to the environment, including climate, water, energy, finance and insurance, infrastructure and health.
