Centre for Data
A Newcastle University Centre of Research Excellence
Strong collaboration is at the heart of our world-leading research in data.
Multidisciplinary approach
We build strong links between:
- methodological researchers in computing and statistics
- those applying these new methods to transform research in data-rich application areas
Multidisciplinarity is key in what we do. We work across all Faculties to apply data science and software engineering expertise.
This helps us tackle research problems in varied areas, including:
- healthcare
- scholarly editing
- smart cities
- heritage
Seven cross-cutting themes
We're building on more than 10 years and £100m worth of cross-Faculty research. We aim to tackle seven cross-cutting themes:
- biomedical informatics
- data for manufacturing
- data visualization
- spatial analytics
- streaming data modelling
- text in a digital age
- regulation of data driven technologies
We bring researchers together from diverse disciplines to carry out pioneering research. We aim to develop responses to complex challenges.
National Innovation Centre for Data
Our work will also support the National Innovation Centre for Data. It will encourage development of in-house expertise and skills for organisations in sectors, including:
- commercial
- public
- not-for-profit
This will aid them in extracting value and public-good from data.
