Collaborations

At the Data Science Campus, we collaborate with various organisations to deliver our priorities for the public good. Our collaborations span UK and international public sector organisations, academic institutions, and private and third sector organisations. Our collaborations aim to improve official statistics and provide additional insights to policymakers by:

  • Acquiring relevant data
  • Developing and exploring new tools and methodologies
  • Supporting other government departments with the implementation of data science and AI

Examples of our collaborations include:

  • We are members of the UK government’s Joint Data Analysis Centre (JDAC), where we collaborate to develop the platforms and tools to make priority insights available to cross government stakeholders.
  • We have long standing partnerships with government departments including the Department for Business and Trade, Ministry of Housing and Local Government and Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, who we support by leveraging ONS data assets and skills to support priority policy decisions.
  • We work closely with the international community of national statistics offices, and the United Nations Statistics Division to facilitate knowledge exchange on innovation in official statistics.

Where possible we make outputs of our work accessible to others to use, and open source our code on GitHub. We are keen to understand how our data, tools, and methods are being used, implemented, and extended by colleagues in other UK and international government departments.

If you would like to discuss potential collaborations, provide feedback on our work, or request further information, please email us.

We collaborate with organisations strictly to achieve our Purpose and Vision.
