Why partner with SAINTS CDT?

Our partner organisations collaborate with researchers at the vanguard of AI research and benefit from their research, insights and the Centre's work more broadly.

Partners will work closely with our postgraduate researchers and our leadership teams, contributing real-world context and data to inform, shape and support our research goals. You'll be part of our research community, taking part in guest lectures, workshops and case study presentations.

Benefits for partners

Partnering with us opens the door to a multitude of benefits that extend beyond those outlined above. The opportunity for you to provide student secondments will build much needed bridges between research and industry and foster collaborative working.

Additionally, by partnering with us, you demonstrate your commitment to the advancement of safe AI practices, aligning with our shared vision for the responsible and trustworthy design and deployment of AI enabled systems. 

Moreover, you will receive invaluable support in navigating real-world challenges by leveraging the collective expertise and resources within our collaborative network. This approach accelerates problem-solving and contributes to the overall success and innovation within the rapidly evolving landscape of AI.
