Our Aim

Taking advantage of AI, we are building a consortium representing East Midland universities to act as AI/data science workforce “AI in the East Midlands” that can respond to funding calls and enhance research and innovation ecosystems in the East Midland region.

Impact

Our plan is to organize a series of workshops rotating among East Midlands universities to bring everyone around the table, started with a kick-off event on 20th of September at Nottingham Trent University (Led by Eiman).

How?

Various East midlands universities have a collection of excellent academics in AI, and a significant impact in the region. This is an “invite” only event for East Midland universities (NTU, Nottingham, Loughborough, Leicester, Derby, DMU and Lincoln) as well as other organisations such as EPSRC East Midland, BBSRC, DASA, Alan Turing Institute, local networks, Local LEPs, Midland Engine, East Midland Innovation, Councils, local NHS representations, and other key public and private organizations.
