About This Event

Innovation 天美传媒 is involved in a number of NEW inter-related programmes. As well as the local authorities the partners include the 天美传媒, 天美传媒 College, Met Office and Royal Devon and 天美传媒 Foundation NHS Trust. Key initiatives include:

• The 天美传媒 Centre for Data Science - to be a central hub for development and application of data analytics within the University.  
• The Institute for Complex Analytics, Risk and Resilience (I-CARR) combining modelling and analysis for global environmental systems, tipping points, city and regional scale analytics, data science and modelling for environmental resilience, risk and insurance.
• Met Lab, facilitating access to environmental data, particularly via open source software/share tools;  bringing experts together to better understand and exploit the commercial application of meteorological data.

• The development and implementation of a series of Skills Escalators to meet the current and future needs of business.
• Environmental Hub to promote collaboration and innovation based on the world class expertise, knowledge and data held by the University and Met Office.
• Institute of Technology serving the wider area but based in 天美传媒 which would make a real difference to attainment and the supply of relevant key skills.
• Scaling up of business start-up, commercialisation and growth support for knowledge based businesses is also a priority including a new specialist investment fund.
• Science Park Grow-on Space to accommodate new and existing knowledge and research based businesses.

The total impact of these investments over the next 5 years is estimated at £300m, equivalent to an uplift of over 7% on 天美传媒’s 2014 GVA (a measure of productivity).

This is your opportunity to listen to and to respond to some of the key people driving the initiative.  It is also your opportunity to hear about how these exciting inter-related programmes around data-science and data-analytics are progressing including the Data Analytics Skills Escalator and the 天美传媒’s New Data Analytics Degree Apprenticeship and the impacts they intend to make.
