The Alan Turing Institute

The Alan Turing Institute is the UK’s Independent national institute for data Science and artificial intelligence. It brings researchers from different disciplines together to apply these fields to public challenges. Its work combines research with skills development, public engagement and advice to policymakers. The institute is a registered charity and is headquartered at the British Library in London.

Its founding members were the universities of Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford, UCL and Warwick, together with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. An open university network allows other UK universities to collaborate with the institute. Funding comes through research-council grants, university partners and relationships across the public, private and charitable sectors. Its public-benefit remit extends beyond developing technology to helping people understand and use it.
