The Alan Turing Institute

The Alan Turing Institute is the UK's national institute for data science and artificial intelligence. The Institute's mission is to: undertake data science research at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, statistics and systems engineering; provide technically informed advice to policy makers on the wider implications of algorithms; enable researchers from industry and academia to work together to undertake research with practical applications; and act as a magnet for leaders in academia and industry from around the world to engage with the UK in data science and its applications. The Institute is headquartered at The British Library, at the heart of London's knowledge quarter, and will bring together leaders in advanced mathematics and computing science from our growing universities network and other partners. Its work is expected to encompass a wide range of scientific disciplines and be relevant to a large number of business sectors.
