Environmental
Intelligence
for Global Change
We are a research group based at the Department of Electronics, Information, and Bioengineering, Politecnico di Milano. Our research mission is advancing environmental decision-analytics for supporting human decisions in complex engineering systems including multiple actors and exposed to evolving multisectoral demands and global change. Our research fuses environmental, climate, and hydrologic disciplines with machine learning, optimal control, and evolutionary computation. This multidisciplinary mix yields innovative, flexible, and robust solutions facilitating participatory decision making processes by addressing the multifaceted complexity of environmental systems, including their nested interdependencies across stakeholders, processes, and policies at different spatial scales; as well as potential changes in human-nature interactions and feedbacks under changing climate extremes and societal demands.
Prof. Andrea Castelletti, head of the eiLab, has been interviewed into L’Eco di Bergamo to recap main learning from the AMBER project (Adaptive Management of Barriers in European Rivers), founded in 2016 by the European
The competition for water, energy, and food is intensifying, and this is happening at a time when society is increasingly aware of the environmental trade-offs involved in building more dams.The EI lab led a study in collaboration
