探花直播Cambridge Centre for Data-Driven Discovery (C2D3) will harness the knowledge of academics in data science, ethics, and from a wide range of disciplines, to research all aspects of this complex and expanding area.

探花直播Centre will be truly interdisciplinary, allowing experts in technical, mathematical and topic knowledge to work together on tackling the methodological and practical challenges presented by handling big data.

探花直播Centre is to be funded by a series of collaborations with partners in business and industry which have an interest in using big data for the benefit of their customers and their organisations.

探花直播first founding partner is to be Aviva, Britain鈥檚 biggest insurer. Aviva will sponsor a research fellowship and support PhD students to help investigate some of the ethical, political and operational questions surrounding the use of big data.

探花直播relationship will combine world-class research with frontline practice. It will help Aviva develop new ethical approaches to advising customers through evidence-based science. It will enable 探花直播 researchers to develop methods and tools to address real-world problems and to influence the wider debate about how organisations address the difficult methodological, practical and ethical challenges of big data.

Professor Anna Vignoles, co-chair of the Cambridge Centre for Data-Driven Discovery, said: 鈥 探花直播 探花直播 is constantly looking for innovative ways for our research to make a difference to the wider world, as well as opportunities for our students to gain valuable experience of industry.

鈥淲orking with Aviva will give our researchers the opportunity to solve some 鈥榬eal world鈥 challenges, ranging from how to securely, ethically, efficiently and effectively store and use their customers鈥 data and to identify what health interventions are most likely to help their customers live a longer and healthier life.鈥

Owen Morris, Managing Director of Aviva Quantum, Aviva鈥檚 Global Data Science Practice, said:

鈥淎viva is on a mission to create a world-class data science capability 鈥 and this ground-breaking partnership with the 探花直播 of Cambridge will equip us with unparalleled access to knowledge and research in this area.鈥

Aviva is expected to be the first of ten organisations in C2D3鈥檚 Industry Club, which will underwrite the cost of research and provide companies with:

  • access to existing research
  • the opportunity to commission new areas of research
  • practical guidance, tools and techniques to use data in the commercial world.

Other partners will be announced in due course.
