Jean Golding Institute

Description

The JGI mission is to foster an environment that promotes the exploration and development of innovation in data science, AI, and data-intensive research, encouraging excellence of practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, and engagement. 

They support capacity building and knowledge sharing through innovative training programs, a data science support service, a strong partnership with the Alan Turing Institute, funding for pilot projects, and tailored community engagement initiatives. 

They deliver initiatives and programmes that support: 

1.                  Networking, i.e. connecting activities that are already at the level where meaningful interdisciplinary activity is possible and providing a focal point of contact to external collaborations. 

2.                  Promoting readiness to demonstrate excellence in interdisciplinary calls for grant funding. This is through the creation, maintenance and nourishment of strategic connections, which are deeper relationships between entities such as research groups, hubs, and projects, rather than individuals. 

3.                  Maintaining a professional research culture, by supporting technical training for new staff. This includes ethical data and innovation training and continual professional development for all in the face of rapid changes in cutting edge practice across data science, AI, and advanced computing infrastructure. 

4.                  Facilitating increased data-intensive interdisciplinary research where there is a skills-gap within research groups by connecting researchers to ‘research engineers’, data scientists, research software engineers and all those who have the skills, experience and remit to implement high-quality technical solutions.
