As technology continues to reshape the humanitarian landscape, research and practice must work hand in hand to navigate both its opportunities and challenges. This event brings together ETH researchers and humanitarian practitioners to discuss how artificial intelligence and digital innovations are transforming humanitarian action.

The event will highlight collaborative research projects that enable humanitarian actors to prepare for the digital dimensions of armed conflicts and that leverage digital technologies and artificial intelligence to support humanitarian action.

These research presentations will set the stage for a panel discussion with experienced practitioners from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and Médecins sans frontières (MSF), who will discuss their collaborations with researchers and the opportunities and challenges of implementing AI-driven solutions in their organisations.

Join us for a conversation that bridges research and practice, offering a deeper understanding of what it means to carry out humanitarian action in the digital age.
