Additionally, it will address sub-themes that align with the goals of the CloudEARTHi initiative and the Academ.City place-based innovation ecosystem in Kyiv to foster a comprehensive discussion on leveraging technology for societal benefit.

CloudEARTHi conference connects academics with businesses, public bodies and NGOs in order to explore how environmental sciences, sustainability, circular economy, and the application of big data in business contexts can benefit society. The conference is organised within the SEEDplus project, funded by the European Union. Some sessions and side events are funded by the Erasmus+, EIT RawMaterials through the EIT HEI initiative, the CloudEARTHi initiative, and the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology. It is the fourth edition of a conference series on Innovation Capacity Building in Environmental Sciences, Sustainability and Circular Economy in Higher Education Institutions and their Entrepreneurial Ecosystems.
To maximise the impact and include all the stakeholders, we decided to plan the conference as a hybrid event. The hybrid format will allow all to contribute to the discussion regardless of their busy agenda or budget limitations. Our registration allows for online or in-person participation. Conference registration and attendance are free of charge (Thanks to the European Union and the EIT HEI initiative).
We aim to maximise the impact as we can, therefore, we invite students (master and B.Sc levels) to contribute. Traditionally for the CloudEARTHI conference, a special session for the students will be prepared to bring their ideas into the spotlight and allow discussion with policymakers, business leaders and academics.
