The Institute for Analytics and Data Science based at the University of Essex, is a centre of excellence that connects with scholars, businesses, institutions, and authorities, to work on their data needs.

Our Mission

  • We want to harness the power of data to change the world.
  • We build confidence in decision-making, so policy makers can identify the right choices.
  • We work to obtain insights from data that can deliver actions with real value and tangible outcomes.
  • We also help people create new products and services that can bring about positive results for businesses, individuals, and society.

Our focus is on delivering high impact research and our commitment to taking an interdisciplinary approach lies at the heart of this. The IADS team is continuously developing new lines of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary foundational research. We are applying our research to even more real world uses, working with governments, NGOs, and businesses.
