THE ALAN TURING INSTITUTE IS INTERESTED IN RESEARCH WHICH TACKLES THE BIG CHALLENGES IN DATA SCIENCE WITH LASTING EFFECTS FOR SCIENCE, THE ECONOMY AND THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. CORE AREAS OF OUR RESEARCH RANGE FROM DATA-CENTRIC ENGINEERING, HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING AND CYBER-SECURITY, TO SMART CITIES, HEALTH, THE ECONOMY AND DATA ETHICS

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
