Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. Our growing network brings together researchers, practitioners, and communities from across the University, creating space for bold ideas, shared learning, and impactful partnerships.
Collaborations
AI@Southampton works closely with groups across the University, in the region and nationally, whose research is advancing or applying artificial intelligence (AI).
Agents, Interaction and Complexity
Researching the science and engineering of complex systems, focusing on areas including human-machine teams and human-in-the-loop interaction.
Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Intelligence for Automated Investigations for Scientific Discovery (AI4SD)
AI4SD brings together Southampton researchers to demonstrate how cutting-edge artificial and augmented intelligence technologies can accelerate and transform scientific discovery. It is hosted by the University of Southampton and funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

Southampton is a proud member of the Turing University Network that provides opportunities to engage and collaborate both with The Alan Turing Institute and its wider community of researchers, business and policymakers.
The Alan Turing Institute is the UK’s national institute for data science and AI. Named after Alan Turing whose pioneering work laid the foundations of modern computing, data science and AI, the Turing brings together leading expertise from across the UK and beyond. Southampton has been a Turing University Partner since 2018.
With internationally recognised expertise in AI and data science, Southampton undertakes research that addresses some of the world’s most pressing scientific, societal and economic challenges. We apply this research to real-world problems, helping to position the UK as a global leader in AI and data science research, collaboration and innovation.
How Southampton engages with the Turing:
Turing Fellows
We have a number of current and former Turing Fellows who are distinguished scholars in AI, data science and related fields who drive collaborative projects, contribute to new ideas, secure external funding and provide research expertise.
Early Career Colleague (ECC) Network
A thriving network hosting regular events for early career researchers working with AI and data science to share ideas and explore Turing collaborations.
Enrichment Scheme
Offers PhD students the chance to enhance their current research by accessing Turing facilities and opportunities.
Theory and Method Challenge Fortnights
Intensive two-week collaborations bringing together experts from the Turing University Partner Network and international institutions to address core challenges in AI and data science.
Data Study Groups
Providing opportunities to collaborate with top talent from industry, academia and government to brainstorm and analyse real-world data science challenges.
Interest Groups
Forums for researchers interested in AI and data science to share ideas, exchange knowledge, and communicate emerging scientific concepts to the wide Turing and beyond.
Internship Network
Links UK doctoral students who are studying an AI or data science topic to internship projects in industry.
