AI-HYDRO FUTURES -Workshop
September 12–13, 2025
Kyoto University (Yoshida Campus or Uji Campus – to be finalized)
This project is led by a multidisciplinary team of professors, researchers, and graduate students affiliated with Kyoto University and international institutions in Iran, Egypt, and Oman. The team collaborates on advancing research in flood hazard mapping, climate resilience, and AI-driven water resource management. The aim is to foster an innovative and inclusive research ecosystem that supports both academic discovery and real-world applications through global collaboration.
