IIITH to host symposium on data-driven deep disruptions

The three-day event will be held from November 21 to 23. It will feature keynote speeches by distinguished speakers from industry, academia and government sectors.

Technology Innovation Hub for Data Banks, Data Services and Data Analytics (iHub-Data) at International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Hyderabad will host a three-day national symposium on Data-Driven Deep Disruptions in association with IIIT Hyderabad from November 21 to 23. 

iHub-Data was established by IIIT Hyderabad under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) scheme funded by Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. The objective is to bring closer different stakeholders – research community, academics, government officials, NGOs, industry leaders, incubating start-ups and social science critics – for enhancing or exploring mutual collaboration.  

The cornerstone development for iHub-Data lies at the interdisciplinary boundaries of science, engineering, and sociology that promises to have an impact on the larger society as such. The three-day event will feature keynote speeches by distinguished speakers from industry, academia and government sectors.

There will be panel discussions, technical papers/poster presentations, workshops focusing on the latest trends in industry, as well as presentations on ongoing joint collaboration experiments using various data driven technologies in domains of healthcare, mobility/transportation, sustainable buildings, agriculture, disaster management, and India specific problems, etc. The event coincides with the second anniversary of iHub-Data and IIIT-Hyderabad's silver jubilee celebrations.  

According to Prof U Deva Priyakumar, Academic Project Director of iHub-Data, symposiums like these would strengthen the complex ecosystem surrounding deep-tech research in niche areas by involving participation from business incubators, start-ups, NGOs, government departments, research institutions to name a few, and also provide more exciting real-time research opportunities for students and scholars, as they attempt to solve larger issues plaguing society.
