TAPAS in-person planning workshop with CGIAR partners in Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT.
The recent in-person planning workshop of our interdisciplinary Tracking Adaptation Progress in Agricultural Systems (TAPAS) Project took place with our CGIAR partners in Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT headquarters in Rome.
Our TAPAS research team is developing AI-enabled satellite remote sensing methodologies for measuring productivity, emissions and adaptation in agricultural systems. To date, we have been developing a range of prototype methods and pipelines for AI-enabled satellite remote sensing of cropping systems, where we are co-developing use cases in partnership with a range of CGIAR System-wide Initiatives, including MITIGATE+, AMD, ClimBer and Climate Security. Our TAPAS project planning meeting was also attended by representatives from the European Space Agency - ESA and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency , with whom there are significant opportunities for impactful synergies with the TAPAS project.
The Science Foundation Ireland and Department of Foreign Affairs, Ireland / Irish Aid funded TAPAS project is an AI for Societal Good Challenge Project, co-led by Charles Spillane and Aaron Golden from University of Galway , in partnership with Ana Maria Loboguerrero and Louis Reymondin from the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT. Our TAPAS project team also includes Patricia Codyre , Michael Geever, Dúalta Ó Fionnagáin ,and Jemima O’Farrell . Our TAPAS Societal Impact Champion is Research Director for Climate Action at CGIAR and Alliance BI and CIAT: Ana Maria Loboguerrero.
Thanks to our colleagues in Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT for hosting the TAPAS Project Workshop!
