Our Research Communities

We conduct inter-disciplinary and impact-oriented research that address regional, national and global challenges, by applying cutting-edge data science, machine learning and AI to real-world problems.

Our portfolio of data analytics research and innovation projects is worth over £80 million, with multi-disciplinary communities of over 300 researchers engaged across different programmes and specialist interest areas.

LIDA’s research communities are currently focused on two main challenge areas that require interdisciplinary working: Food and Health.

Supporting these communities are four cross cutting communities that focus on exploiting and developing our capabilities and capacity within four key methodological data analytics areas; Artificial Intelligence, Data Science Infrastructures, Visualization and Immersive Technologies.
