Researchers
Smart Data Research UK is securing safe access to data and building researcher capacity to work with smart data, supporting interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaborations focused on pressing national challenges.
Supporting smart data research
Smart data offers an opportunity to understand society, improve lives, and sustainably grow our economy, but there are commercial, methodological, and technical challenges in using such data for research. We will support researchers and their work in this rapidly evolving field.
Research themes
We organise our work around three priorities
aligned with government missions – growth and opportunity, health and wellbeing, and clean energy transition.
Accelerator scheme
We enable data scientists and researchers to explore how to create, access, and use smart data more effectively.
Smart data stories
We share the work of smart data researchers whose work is leading this developing field.
Training
We offer training and development opportunities, supporting the data scientists and researchers of tomorrow.
