Our mission is to empower researchers through building capacity for data-led and applied digital research across the arts, humanities and social sciences. We facilitate innovation in data-led and digital research methods through supporting and leveraging cross-disciplinary skills sharing and experimentation.
The Edinburgh Centre for Data, Culture & Society (CDCS) is part of the Edinburgh Futures Institute, one of the hubs of the Data Driven Innovation programme established as part of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal. As data and digital technology transform our university, our city and our world, CDCS and EFI aim to ensure that the vital contributions that the arts, humanities and social sciences make to this transformation are recognised and celebrated.
Collaboration and community are at the heart of our work. CDCS has an Advisory Board composed of academics from across the disciplines we serve and engage with. Advisory Board meeting papers are available on the CDCS governance sharepoint site (University of Edinburgh login required). Our Annual Reports are available as both pdfs and Word files (on request).
