About the event
In the rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence, Reinforcement Learning (RL) stands out as a pivotal area of study, offering transformative potential across various industries. The Indian Institute of Information Technology Kottayam (IIIT Kottayam) is hosting a comprehensive 5-Day Faculty Development Programme (FDP) cum Workshop on Applied Reinforcement Learning: From Foundations to Real-World Applications. This event is designed to equip participants with both foundational knowledge and practical skills in RL, making it an unmissable opportunity for educators, researchers, and industry professionals.
Events & highlights
The 5-Day FDP cum Workshop on Applied Reinforcement Learning is scheduled to take place from July 20 to July 24, 2026. This online event is organized by the Department of Computer Science & Engineering 2 (Applied AI) at IIIT Kottayam. It aims to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications of RL, providing participants with hands-on experience using Python and MATLAB/Simulink.
Meet the organizer
The Indian Institute of Information Technology Kottayam (IIIT Kottayam) was established in the year 2015 as one among the IIITs established under the administrative control of the Government of India and later declared as an “Institution of National Importance†by an Act of Parliament enacted in 2017. The initial cost for the infrastructure development was shared in the ratio of 50:35:15 among the Central Government, State Government and the industry partners namely M/s CIAL Cochin, and M/s Rolta Foundation Mumbai. The institute is located on a picturesque lush green 53-acre campus in Pala, Kottayam, Kerala. IIIT Kottayam imparts top-notch technological education at the undergraduate, post graduate and doctoral levels and currently occupies the leading position as a highly sought-after destination for students inclined to indulge in the intricacies of Computer Science and allied fields.
