• The event will take place on 25 and 26 November 2025, in a hybrid format, and will bring together international specialists to discuss the challenges and opportunities of sustainable AI.

A Coruña, 12 November 2025.- On 25 and 26 November, the Centre for Research in Information and Communication Technologies (CITIC) at the University of A Coruña will host the First Symposium on Green Artificial Intelligence, an initiative promoted by the Inditex–UDC Chair in Green Algorithms. The event will be held in a hybrid format, with in-person sessions in A Coruña and virtual access for remote participants.

The symposium aims to create a meeting space for the research community, industry stakeholders, and public institutions to address current challenges in Artificial Intelligence from a sustainability and environmental responsibility perspective.

Climate change affects all areas of society, and computational activity—including AI models and data centres—has already become a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. In response, the Chair advocates for a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach that advances the development of more sustainable algorithms, energy-efficient models, and applications that actively contribute to mitigating the climate crisis.

The symposium programme will include keynote lectures, round-table discussions, and presentations of research and citizen-science projects led by the Chair, as well as other initiatives in the field of so-called Green AI, featuring broad participation from leading experts in the discipline.
