Newcastle Data
Driving research, training, and engagement in data science.
Newcastle Data is using data to transform research across the whole University. Vast amounts of data are now collected across all areas of academia, research, industry and the public sector. The challenge has shifted from how to collect the data, to how to extract value from it.
Three main goals
To respond to this challenge, our community focuses on three main goals:
- using data to transform research across the University
- training the next generation of leaders in data science
- exchanging data expertise with those outside the university, for the benefit of society, the economy and our own research and teaching
We coordinate work across research, teaching and engagement— to create a virtuous circle that is mutually beneficial to researchers, students, society, and the economy.
In the year ahead, we’re looking to build on our collaborative culture and diverse networks to compete for external funding and tackle complex industrial and societal challenges.
Our approach
Our expertise and research are driving the development and application of new methods for extracting the value from data. We do this by:
- designing new methods for analysing data
- applying them to real data to solve problems and generate novel insights
We work in science, engineering, the arts and humanities, and medical science.
