Funders

Real World Data Science was supported by startup funding from The Alan Turing Institute.

The Alan Turing Institute, headquartered in the British Library, London, was created as the UK’s national institute for data science in 2015. In 2017, as a result of a government recommendation, artificial intelligence was added to its remit. 

The Institute is named in honour of Alan Turing (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954), whose pioneering work in theoretical and applied mathematics, engineering and computing are considered to be the key disciplines comprising the fields of data science and artificial intelligence.
