We are a member of The Turing University Network, connecting universities across the data science and AI ecosystem
Turing University Network
About
The network is a key component of The Alan Turing Institute's strategy, aimed at changing the world for the better with data science and AI.
The network supports the Turing in achieving three ambitious goals:
Advance world-class research and apply it to national and global challenges
Build skills for the future
Drive an informed public conversation.
At present, the network has a membership of 65 universities from across the UK. It enables the Turing’s role as a national convenor in the data science and AI landscape and creates opportunity for meaningful collaboration where interests align across research and innovation, skills and engagement.
Key Thematic Areas
A grand challenge-led approach for the Turing’s science and innovation agenda provides the common focus, clear direction and a mandate to prioritise activity, as well as the inspiration and motivation for diverse communities and capabilities to come together in support of these organising principles. In alignment with national priority areas, the Turing has selected three areas of focus for grand challenges.
Health
To transform healthcare and enable better outcomes for all.
Environment and Sustainability
To address the climate and biodiversity crisis and the need for greater sustainability.
Defence and National Security
To protect the UK, its people and the places they inhabit.
Explore the use of AI in the drive towards net zero and environmental sustainability in this event recording, organised by the University as part of The Alan Turing Institute's AIUK Fringe Series.
