The meeting's purpose was to review existing and planned research projects within the ongoing Alan Turing Institute - Visual Intelligence MoU agreement—ranging from research on foundation models for climate and earth to super resolution for sea ice forecasting.

The presented projects formed the basis for a discussion on further strengthening existing collaborations, which build on past results within the MoU agreement, as well as the path forward for new collaborative projects between the Alan Turing Institute and Visual Intelligence.

Read more about these research results in the 2024 paper "Interrogating Sea Ice Predictability With Gradients".
