The Data Lab

Established with an £11.3 million grant from the Scottish Funding Council, The Data Lab will enable industry, public sector and world-class university researchers to innovate and develop new data science capabilities in a collaborative environment. Its core mission is to generate significant economic, social and scientific value from data. With a Scotland-wide presence and Hubs in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow, it will be in close proximity to leading industry and university institutions with world-class research in informatics and computer science. Hubs are focused on building relationships locally and delivering a range of activities that span across The Data Lab's three key areas: Collaborative Innovation; Skills & Training; and Community Building.
