The Institute is a TechLab initiated by eUniv to develop and organize applied research activities in the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Algorithms, Machine Learning, Blockchain, Robotics, Internet of Things (IoT), and Biotechnology. These elements combine to create applications that were hard to imagine a few years ago but are now part of our reality. These technologies require careful observation and a critical, rational approach. In an era of exponential technological advancement, the Institute aims to become a Think Tank that generates debate, reflection, and dissemination on the challenges posed by scientific and technological research, as well as the practical application of its results. A Think Tank can be a laboratory of ideas, a strategic cabinet, a research institute, or a center for reflection. The Institut Universitari NextG was created to be all of these at once.
