TEAM
DECaDE is a multidisciplinary centre uniting researchers across the fields of AI, Distributed Systems, Cyber Security, Design Interaction, Business and Law.
The centre was launched by the University of Surrey, University of Edinburgh, and Digital Catapult and sits within Surrey’s Centre for Vision Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP).
These technical capabilities fuse with expertise in socio-economic modelling and digital business transformation within Surrey Business School’s Centre for Digital Economy (CoDE), and people-centric security and trusted systems within the Surrey Centre for Cybersecurity (SCCS).
The University of Edinburgh brings world-class human factors and design expertise via Centre for Design Informatics (CDI) and SCRIPT within Edinburgh Law School; an AHRC law and technology research centre.
Co-creation is driven through the Digital Catapult via both its DLT Field Labs and machine intelligence garage engaging diverse private and public sector end-users.
