The Bayes Centre is a focal point of the Data-Driven Innovation (DDI) Programme within the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal.  It collaborates closely with other DDI hubs, the Edinburgh Futures Institute, the Usher Institute, the National Robotarium, and Easter Bush.

Completed in 2018, the Bayes Centre accommodates up to 600 world-leading applied data science researchers, talented students and staff from organisations across the public, private and third sectors into one facility.

It is a commercial collaboration space - and robotics “Living Lab” testing facility - for use by industry, and by drawing together the University of Edinburgh Schools of Informatics, Mathematics, and Design together with the Alan Turing Institute, the Data Lab and the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre.

Below is a video showing construction of the facility:

Data Driven Innovation

The Bayes Centre investment is part of the Data Driven Innovation (DDI) strand of the Edinburgh & South East Scotland City Region Deal.

From food production and climate change, to exploring Space and genetically-tailored healthcare, the DDI initiative is a cluster of innovation hubs that bring academic disciplines together to delve into some of the world’s most pressing challenges – using data to innovate.
