What is Evathon?



Evathon 2021 is an opportunity for researchers, thinkers and innovators to design and develop intelligent ways to solve problems from the broader domain of classifications, predictions and control with evolutionary computation.

Art makes questions. Design makes solutions. Technology makes possibilities and Hackathons turn possibilities into reality. The first edition of our innovation challenge invites participants from across the nation to submit sustainable and scalable solutions to challenges from diverse domains.

Participate in Evathon 2021 for exciting challenges, rewards and a unique learning experience like never before!

Evolution, of course, is not something that simply applies to life here on Earth, it applies to the whole universe.
