Pelo quinto ano seguido, o Google anunciou uma nova classe de 27 pesquisadores na área de Ciência da Computação que receberão, ao longo dos próximos doze meses, aproximadamente 2 milhões de reais para avançar seus estudos. Desde seu lançamento, em 2013, o Latin American Research Awards — ou LARA — já beneficiou 46 projetos, e mais de 100 pesquisadores, entre alunos de pós-graduação e orientadores.
