The AETHER project is rooted in ESA’s FutureEO programme and Φ-lab strategy, which aim to push the frontiers of AI for Earth Observation. Building on decades of EO data, scientific excellence, and open innovation principles, AETHER aligns with European efforts to ensure trustworthy, transparent, and inclusive AI systems for sustainable development and climate action.

The AETHER consortium brings together a diverse and complementary group of European research institutions, combining leading expertise in Earth Observation, artificial intelligence, climate science, agriculture, biodiversity, and urban sustainability. Together, we aim to pioneer transparent and trustworthy AI solutions for high-impact environmental applications.
