The ''Greening AI with Software Engineering'' workshop,1 funded by the Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire (CECAM) and the Lorentz Center, provided an interdisciplinary forum for 29 participants, from practitioners to academics, to share knowledge, ideas, practices, and current results dedicated to advancing green software and AI research. The workshop was held February 3-7, 2025, in Lausanne, Switzerland. Through keynotes, flash talks, and collaborative discussions, participants identified and prioritized key challenges for the field. These included energy assessment and standardization, benchmarking practices, sustainability-aware architectures, runtime adaptation, empirical methodologies, and education. This report presents a research agenda emerging from the workshop, outlining open research directions and practical recommendations to guide the development of environmentally sustainable AI-enabled systems rooted in software engineering principles.Peer ReviewedArticle signat per 25 autors/es: Luís Miranda Cruz, Delft University of Technology, Delft, Netherlands; João Paulo Fernandes, New York University Abu Dhabi, UAE; Maja Hanne Kirkeby, Roskilde University; Silverio Martínez-Fernández, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain; June Sallou, Wageningen University & Research, Netherlands; Hina Anwar, University of Tartu, Tartu, Estonia; Enrique Barba Roque, Delft University of Technology, Delft, Netherlands; Justus Bogner, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands; Joel Castaño, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain; Fernando Castor, University of Twente, Enschede, Netherlands; Aadil Chasmawala, New York University Abu Dhabi, UAE; Simão Cunha, University of Minho, Braga, Portugal; Daniel Feitosa, University of Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands; Alexandra González, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain; Andreas Jedlitschka, Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering, Kaiserslautern, Germany; P.
