AI for Earthquake Response Challenge

Combining the Charter’s operational experience with ESA Φ-lab’s drive for innovation, the AI for Earthquake Response brought together 143 participants from 40 countries to explore how far artificial intelligence can go in automating post-disaster damage detection from space.

As a result, four teams from four different countries have been recognised for their breakthrough work in using artificial intelligence to detect earthquake damage from space, marking the conclusion of a global competition organised by the European Space Agency in collaboration with the International Charter ‘Space and Major Disasters’ – commonly referred to as ‘the Charter’.
