Centres
Informatics has strong links to and interactions with a wide variety of other disciplines. The School contributes to a number of interdisciplinary research units, both within the University of Edinburgh, and beyond.
Centre for Design Informatics
Design Informatics focuses on designing with data. The mission of the Centre is to inspire, equip and nurture a new generation of design-informatics researchers, practitioners and entrepreneurs.
Centre for Neuroregeneration
An "Institute without Walls" within the University of Edinburgh, whose research and teaching interests span all branches of basic and clinical neuroscience.
Centre for Speech Technology Research
A multidisciplinary research group that undertakes application-oriented speech research. Its main work is in the areas of speech synthesis and speech recognition.
Centre for Systems Biology
Research focuses on the temporal aspects of biological phenomena, where we have breadth and depth of expertise. A key emphasis will be to link diverse data and models tightly, through multiple iterations, ranging from static ab initio models to highly-constrained, kinetic models that cross multiple scales. This continuum of modelling approaches reflects the realistic evolution of a systems-level approach to any and all biological problems.
Digital Curation Centre
The Digital Curation Centre has been established to help solve the extensive challenges of digital preservation and to provide research, advice and support services to UK institutions.
Human Communication Research Centre
An interdisciplinary research centre bringing together theories and methods from several formal and experimental disciplines to understand better how people communicate.
Institute for System Level Integration
A collaboration of four of Scotland's top universities - Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt, Glasgow and Strathclyde, the Institute undertakes research teaching and technology transfer in System Level Integration.
Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre
Acts as a focus for the University of Edinburgh's work in high performance computing. The Centre's task is to accelerate the effective exploitation of high performance parallel computing systems throughout academia, industry and commerce.
