A Round-up of the Kreaverse
|
As we pen this edition and share highlights of the week that was, we realise how the term summer ‘break’ is a misnomer, considering how our campus has been constantly abuzz with summer schools, camps, workshops and several other initiatives this entire while. Some students are spending time at their respective internships, research projects, and externships while others are gearing up for their very first career roles. Faculty are penning articles, publishing research papers, collaborating with academics across the globe and deep diving into enquiries that matter. We can confidently say, there has been no ‘break’, just a shift to other mediums and roles, with exciting developments on and off campus.
There is so much to celebrate at Krea, starting with the diligence and commitment of the Krea community, the focused guidance of our faculty and the potential of our remarkable students. Our programmes are going from strength to strength, and our students are pushing the boundaries of how we perceive the world, its challenges, and its solutions. We wish this summer also translates into relaxation, reflection and recharging before we all head back to tackle the new term with renewed fervour. As always, if you have stories or news to share with the Krea community, we invite you to connect with us at all.commsteam@krea.edu.in

Krea University is organising a weeklong summer school on Cognitive Sciences, bringing together insights from Linguistics, Psychology, Neuroscience, and Computational Theory at its Sri City campus from 12 - 16 May 2025. This interdisciplinary workshop will explore key questions on cognition — from language processing to neural computation through lectures, discussions, and hands-on training in EEG and eye-tracking. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how minds and brains process information and the implications for Artificial General Intelligence. The sessions will be led by renowned faculty members. This year’s focus is on Natural Language — its computational complexity, challenges in artificial implementation, and insights into the evolution of the human brain.
