KIDA-KON 2024
«Conference on AI for Food, Agriculture and Environment»
This year, KIDA is once again organizing a conference focusing on the use of artificial intelligence in the areas of food, agriculture and the environment. The KIDA-KON 2024 will take place on December 2nd and 3rd, 2024, at the German Biomass Centre (DBFZ) in Leipzig. The conference aims to bring together stakeholders from the scientific and government sectors to discuss the challenges and oppurtunities of using artficial intelligence in the field of agri-food-research. Young scientists in particular will be given the oppurtinity to present their work and to engage in technical dialogue.
