The Joint Centre for Excellence in Environmental Intelligence brings together world-leading researchers from the University of Exeter and the Met Office, to pioneer the development of Environmental Intelligence research and deliver innovative, interdisciplinary education and training. 

Environmental Intelligence is a new field of knowledge that exploits the explosion in Environmental data and the rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence to create solutions to some of the most important challenges facing society today. The ability to integrate data and information from multiple, inter-related, sources provides a step-change in our understanding of the complex interactions between the environment, climate, natural ecosystems, human social and economic systems, and health. 

Working at the interface of environmental and sustainability research, data science, artificial intelligence and digital technologies, the Joint Centre is focused on applied research and collaboration. Our activities are organised in two programmes: “Research to Applications” and “Capability Building and Skills Development”. We also conduct outreach and engagement events for a wide variety of audiences.
