The University of Adelaide, Australia, and the University of Surrey, UK, have announced a new phase of their partnership – distributing a joint seed-fund to combine research power on eight collaborative research projects that each target novel applications in AI, sustainability, space and cybersecurity. The eight – each with a research lead at Adelaide and another at Surrey – were selected from a highly competitive pool of 19 joint proposals.
Both Adelaide and Surrey share strategic strengths in the areas of AI, sustainability and space – with Surrey recently establishing two pan-university institutes: the Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI and the Institute for Sustainability, with work also ramping up around Surrey’s historic research strength and impact built around the Surrey Space Centre. Surrey also has one of the most respected cybersecurity research hubs in the UK – the Surrey Centre for Cyber Security.
The University of Adelaide is home to the Australian Institute for Machine Learning, the Institute for Sustainability, Energy and Resources, and the Environment Institute.
