Summer Course in Agri-food Sector at UGM
This summer course will emphasize the urgent need to implement Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based strategies for addressing the impacts of climate change on the agricultural sector. The application of AI in the agricultural and food sectors is still limited compared to its potential surge of AI development, research, and application in these sectors. Consequently, a comprehensive approach is required to use AI throughout the agri-food sector, encompassing all stages from agriculture (food production), processing and analysis (food processing/analysis), and supply chain. Collaboration among universities, industries, and government, both domestically and internationally is essential to accelerate the development of AI in the agro-industrial sector, thereby achieving sustainable food security at the domestic, regional, and global scales in response to climate change and Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), especially on goals (2) Zero Hunger; (3) Good Health and Well-being; (4) Quality Education; (9) Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; (12) Responsible Consumption and Production; (13) Climate Action; (15) Life on Land; and (17) Partnerships for the Goals.
The Summer Course will be held in hybrid (the first phase as a Pre-Course session with fully online method participation on 21-27 July 2025, and the second phase as a Course session with on-site and online participation on 28 July – 2 August 2025), so that the participants can decide whether they will participate as online participants throughout the Summer Course or will participate as onsite participants that will come physically to FAT UGM for the Course session, after finishing their Pre-Course phase online.
The registration for the participants will be opened on 10 April 2025, until the deadline of 23 May 2025. The registration will be administered through UGM’s admissions system here!
