Introducing the new Guest Lectures Series: Exploring AI Agents with Fetch.ai in collaboration with Fetch.ai Foundation partners

We are excited to announce a brand-new educational initiative designed to bring cutting-edge technology directly to you: a Guest Lectures Series focusing on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. This series is tailor-made for university students who are eager to explore the latest advancements in AI, automation, and industry applications. Whether you're just beginning your journey into the world of technology or already have technical proficiency, this series has something for everyone.

What You Can Expect from the Lecture Series

Our expert-led lectures will provide an in-depth exploration of agent-based technologies, which are quickly becoming foundational in various industries such as mobility, travel, and gaming.

Here's what you'll gain from this unique opportunity:

  1. Introduction to Agents and Multi-Agent Systems

    For students new to the concept of agents, we will kick off with introductory lectures on how simple agents can be set up using ready-made templates. You don't need any prior technical experience to dive into these sessions, as the setup process is designed to be accessible and hands-on. This will allow you to start experimenting with these systems immediately, whether you're a computer science major or come from a non-technical background.

  2. Advanced Technical Deep Dive

    For those with a background in Python or computer science, the series will also feature technical deep dive sessions. These lectures will explore more advanced topics, such as developing custom agents, the complexities of multi-agent system design, and how to optimize their interactions for real-world applications. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of the engineering behind these systems and how to build your own advanced projects.

  3. Industry Collaborations: Real-World Applications

    One of the most exciting aspects of this lecture series is our collaboration with Fetch.ai Foundation partners from various industries. These partners will showcase real-world use cases and demos, illustrating how agent technologies are transforming fields like mobility, travel, telekom and gaming industries. Whether it's an electric vehicle navigating city streets, travel agents optimizing bookings, or agents used in game design for immersive environments, you'll get to see how cutting-edge companies—both large enterprises and innovative SMEs—are integrating these systems.

Key Benefits for Students
