TUMSAT Marine AI Consortium has been established

TUMSAT Marine AI Consortium has been established on November 1, 2020.

The Consortium aims to contribute to the social welfare by providing new solutions for ocean-related challenges, creating new technological platforms, and fostering new leadership in marine sciences. Via cooperation with a wide range of organizations and other entities with expertise in this field, the Consortium will assist in research and education and disseminating knowledge, know-how, and resources related to IoT technologies.

One immediate challenge for the Consortium is to ensure that MAIDEC's WISE Doctoral Program, which aims to foster leadership in information technologies in various realms of ocean sciences, will yield a tangible impact on society. The Consortium is going to take part in the program from its early stages to enhance the practical application of AI technology in marine sciences.

Members of the TUMSAT Marine AI Consortium are below (As of December 9, 2020) :
