Coriolis seminars

The 2025-2026 season for the Coriolis seminars is about to begin!
This year, the seminars of the Energy: Research and Innovation cycle will share a silverline on the opportunities and challenges raised by AI in the energy sector.
We hear often about these topics, but seldom have the opportunity to go in depth, or beyond very basic arguments.
With these seminars, we aim at collecting and confronting a diversity of perspectives from academic, industrial and institutional stake holders.
Some talks will present case study of AI use for energy applications, other will share points of attention regarding the ever increasing deployment of this technology
It will also help understanding which issues are really specific to AI, and which are simply brought back to the limelight or amplified by AI, but already existed before the recent upsurge.
