In 2017, as a result of a government recommendation, we added artificial intelligence to our remit. The Institute is governed by its Board of Trustees who are also its Directors. The Board of Trustees is made up of independent members and nominated Trustees from each of our joint venture partners. Founding partners The Institute’s founding partners are the Universities of Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford, University College London and Warwick and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. Answering a national need for investment in data science research, they formed the Institute as a joint venture in 2015, following an open competition run by the EPSRC. Each founding university has appointed a Turing University Lead who acts as an interface between the Institute and the founder university.
