Winter School in AI and Predictive Agriculture

The Winter School in AI and Predictive Agriculture is a free event to share the collective learnings of experts from The University of Queensland in the use of AI and predictive analytics in Agriculture and Sustainability. The event will be held on 13-15 July 2026 at The University of Queensland St Lucia Campus, Brisbane and will feature seminars, case studies and hands-on workshops.

The Winter School aims to:

• Build capacity in applied AI for agriculture, especially amongst PhD students, EMCRs and industry participants;
• Provide participants with practical skills, not just knowledge;
• Demonstrate AI as an enabler to make standard agricultural technologies more accessible.
