Dies Natalis

During our Dies Natalis celebration, we explore how scientists and students can become responsible change makers and leverage AI to envision a future where a sustainable world becomes a reality.

Artificial Intelligence holds the potential to contribute immensely to science by data analysis, accelerating discoveries, and enabling innovative research and education methodologies. From optimising agricultural practices to estimating global change impacts, AI can be a powerful tool driving scientific innovation and sustainability worldwide.

However, as we explore its transformative promise, we must also address the challenges that come with its use in scientific discovery. Researchers and students have an important role to play in ensuring that Artificial Intelligence is used responsibly and effectively.

The official Dies Natalis celebration was preceded by the pitches for the Research Award, organised by Wageningen Graduate Schools and made possible with support of University Fund Wageningen.
