• The SMART Global Ecosystems Chair is promoted by the University of Valladolid (UVa) and the company SNGULAR.
• It provides a boost to the DataForest master’s programme (Palencia Campus), which stands as a benchmark for the digital transition of a key element of the ecological transition: the natural environment.
• An initiative that supports the ecological transition and the care of the natural environment in order to create a sustainable setting in which technology helps new generations learn in a practical way while being aware of the importance of caring for our planet.

The specific objectives of SMART Global Ecosystems are:

• Promote training in the fields of artificial intelligence and data science applied to the natural environment.
• Investigate ecosystem problems and propose solutions through artificial intelligence and large-scale data analysis.
• Promote sustainability through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and large-scale data analysis.
• Reduce the gender gap in digitalisation and in STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
• Expand the use of AI in sectors where its implementation is not yet fully established.
