Research pursued by the ELLIS Unit Jena is at its core motivated by the desire to explore how environmental and climate sciences can profit from machine learning and AI advances to gain a better understanding of Earth dynamic systems. Beyond scientific work, this research will enable the regulatory bodies and policy makers in their decisions and measures as well as the broader public to get a better grasp. The Unit includes several local institutions.

In addition to purely scientific cooperations, we are engaged in networks committed to science communication and dissemination:
The Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry is member of the German Climate Consortium, a network of renowned German climate research institutions with the mandate to inform society, politicians and the media about current results of climate research and to foster dialogue between these representatives. The DKK was founded in 2008 and is based in Berlin.
