Kalyan Gautham, a prominent leader in the field of Information and Communication Technology based, has conducted an online training with our students. His success in leading StartUps in this field brings a rich experience to the Hybrid Lab participants.
Gautham, a Forbes award winner and founder of the Global Shapers Community at the World Economic Forum, has used his extensive knowledge to help students develop innovative solutions to address the problems of online misinformation. Through his training, he has guided students towards creating advanced tools and applications that aim to improve the quality of information and raise public awareness of this important challenge.
The goal of the Hybrid Lab project is to use technology to find ways to raise awareness about misinformation, just as technology is precisely what is enabling some users to create misinformation content.
Participating students will have the opportunity to submit their project proposals to create these applications or tools, with 5 of them selected as the best, each receiving a prize of 5000 US dollars.
These tools will enable them to fully develop their proposals. However, in addition, the 15 selected students will have the opportunity to be mentored by our experts throughout the process, until their realization.
