Call for Expression of Interest
Data, and the information generated, are foundational pieces supporting informed decision making within regulatory frameworks.
Traditionally, data collection has consisted of a mix of field level observations supplemented with aerial imagery where possible. Technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS), remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS), earth observation (EO), and artificial intelligence (AI) collectively enable the collection and evaluation of more data, at greater frequency, finer resolutions, and across much larger areas. However, the rapid pace of technology development has outpaced the ability for policy makers and regulators to evaluate against current policy and practices, such as field-level measurements and observations resulting in a delay in both uptake and adoption within policy.
CLRA Alberta’s 2024 workshop highlighted the need to continue demonstrating, and clearly communicating, operational and regulatory applications of these technologies by: comparing the value and costs of using GIS/EO/AI technologies against current methods; and, understanding the value of the data and information derived from these technologies within various business contexts, to support building the business case for integration and adoption. To build on the success of this workshop, CLRA Alberta and Alberta Innovates are co-hosting a workshop in Calgary on June 16th. This session is intended to continue the conversation by identifying project concepts that promote opportunities for uptake by industry, regulators, and policy makers while continuing to foster innovation in this space.
Note: This Workshop has limited space and is not a ‘first come, first served’ event. You will need to submit your interest for participation consideration.
