Frontier Development Lab

Frontier Development Lab (FDL.AI) is an accelerator that brings together PhD and post-doc researchers in AI and data science with counterparts from the space sector for an intensive eight-week research sprint. The program, backed by ESA in Europe and NASA in the USA, leverages AI technologies to address challenges ranging from climate change to space weather prediction. FDL.AI's partnership with Google Cloud and Nvidia provides the necessary expertise and computing resources for rapid experimentation and iteration in data-intensive areas. Since its establishment in 2015, FDL.AI has demonstrated a remarkable success rate in delivering research output over accelerated time periods. The results have been disseminated through research papers accepted in respected journals, presented at scientific conferences in both AI and space science domains, and featured in prominent media outlets. With a mission to push the frontiers of research and develop tools benefiting humanity, FDL.AI stands at the intersection of AI, space, and machine learning, contributing significantly to advancements in these fields.
