Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Calcutta has established its dexterity in academic excellence by being a part of the X-Culture Research Hackathon. This is in keeping with the institute’s endeavor in incorporating global academic practices in their curriculum.
“Traditionally, academicians have been working either alone or in small co-author teams, they collect (or buy) data, analyze them and write papers. This model is limited in the sense a single or limited number of co-authors might have limited perspectives," said Dr. Vasyl Taras, director, X-Culture project.
