Sustainable Pattern Recognition & Pattern Recognition for Environment green-pr.sciencesconf.org

Workshop Scope

The GREEN-PR workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on sustainable approaches to pattern recognition as well as pattern recognition techniques applied to environmental challenges.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Sustainable Pattern Recognition

• Energy-efficient and low-carbon pattern recognition methods
• Green AI and sustainable machine learning for pattern recognition
• Model compression, pruning, quantization, and efficient architectures
• Resource-aware learning (computation, memory, energy)
• Life-cycle assessment of pattern recognition and AI systems
• Benchmarking and metrics for sustainability in pattern recognition
• Sustainable data acquisition, annotation, and management
• Federated, distributed, and edge learning for sustainable PR
• Responsible and environmentally conscious AI methodologies

Pattern Recognition for Environment

• Pattern recognition for environmental monitoring and protection
• Remote sensing, satellite and aerial imagery analysis
• Biodiversity monitoring and species recognition
• Climate, weather, and environmental data analysis
• Pattern recognition for pollution detection and assessment
• Earth observation and geospatial data analysis
• Environmental change detection and long-term monitoring
• Pattern recognition for natural hazards and disaster management
• AI for agriculture, forestry, and ecosystem management

Cross-Cutting Topics

• Sustainability-aware benchmarks and datasets
• Explainable and trustworthy pattern recognition for environmental applications
• Ethical, societal, and policy aspects of sustainable PR
• Case studies and real-world deployments
• Interdisciplinary approaches combining pattern recognition, environmental science, and sustainability

Important Dates

• Paper submission deadline: May 3rd 2026
• Notification of acceptance: June 20th 2026
• Camera-ready papers due: July 31st 2026
• Workshop date: August 21st 2026

(All reviewing and final decisions will be completed before the university summer closure.)

We warmly encourage you to submit your work and to share this call with interested colleagues.
