University and Treehouse receive £110k funding from Innovate UK
The partnership between Treehouse and the University of Gloucestershire, aimed at driving innovation in data science, has received £110k in Government funding.
The University’s School of Computing and Engineering is collaborating with Treehouse in carrying out industry-led research and developing new products, processes and services through work around data science.
The project is being carried out as a Knowledge Transfer Partnership – a partly Government-funded programme bringing together businesses and universities.
The £110k in funding has been provided by the Government-backed agency Innovate UK, which supports innovation in all sectors, technologies and UK regions, with an additional £54k from Treehouse Partners, bringing the total project funding to £164k.
Dr Will Sayers, Senior Lecturer in Cyber Computing within the School of Computing and Engineering, said: “We’re delighted to have achieved funding from Innovate UK for a project that we hope will go a long way to promoting innovation around data science.
“The work will enable Treehouse Partners to develop an online data-science driven platform that can complement the current services they offer their clients around training, learning and coaching, as well as providing essential data insights that will further advance research in this area.”
