How are the courses on the platform developed and funded?

We have several development routes for the courses on our platform.

A set of courses on the topic of Responsible AI have been commissioned through an open tender process co-funded by the Turing and our strategic partner Accenture.

Other courses are developed by researchers at the Turing, as a result of the research conducted in our programmes or grand challenges areas (courses currently under development), or through projects with both internal and/or external collaborators.
