The Alan Turing Institute has expanded its university network to include 29 new members, taking the total number of universities in the network to 65.
The Turing University Network offers UK universities, with an interest in data science and AI, the opportunity to engage and collaborate both with the Institute and its broader networks in academia, industry and the public sector.
It will also connect universities across the data science and AI ecosystem, provide access to bespoke network activity and encourage collaborations as opportunities arise.
The network first launched as a pilot in April 2023 followed by an open call for new members in early summer 2023.
It is a key component of The Alan Turing Institute’s strategy and supports the Institute in achieving its three ambitious goals: advance world-class research and apply it to national and global challenges, build skills for the future, and drive an informed public conversation.
Dr Jean Innes, Chief Executive Officer of The Alan Turing Institute, said:
“We’re really pleased to welcome our new members to the network. We hope that they will benefit from being part of our data science and AI group and find opportunities for new, meaningful collaborations across the data science and AI landscape.”
Professor Miles Padgett, Interim Executive Chair at EPSRC said:
"UKRI is actively bringing together expertise across academia and business to further enhance the UK’s reputation and leadership in AI. We fully support the Turing’s extension of their university network which will grow their partnerships across UK academia to the benefit of the UK’s AI ecosystem."
