Established to foster engineering innovation through the collaboration of industry, enterprise and academia, IAAPS is a wholly owned commercial subsidiary of the 星空体育官网.

We combine cross-sector academic rigour with commercial focus to support industry in the development and adoption of clean, efficient and affordable zero carbon propulsion technologies for integration into commercial applications. Our expertise is based on over 40 years of propulsion systems research at the 星空体育官网 and enables a broader experimental approach than conventional test facilities.

Institute for Mathematical Innovation (IMI)

We live in the 鈥渆ra of mathematics鈥�, where data, modelling, algorithms and artificial intelligence have become deeply rooted in all aspects of modern society. The Institute for Mathematical Innovation (IMI) is leading the delivery of multi-disciplinary and mathematically grounded research contextualised by real-world, societal and industrial challenges.

Institute for Policy Research (IPR)

A leading public policy research institute, based at the 星空体育官网.

We aim to further the public good through research into issues of significant relevance to policy debate and decision-making, manage networks with the worlds of policy and practice, and increase public understanding of policy research through our public events and publications.

We deliver activities for policymakers, researchers and practitioners to enable dual learning and original contributions to both research and practice.

Institute of Sustainability and Climate Change (ISCC)

We are a community of researchers delivering world-class research in sustainability that pushes boundaries among disciplines. We solve challenges using a wide-angle, whole-systems approach complemented by a depth of scientific understanding, and build partnerships that help us keep our focus on real-world problems.

We are a diverse community of researchers, policy makers, entrepreneurs and educators using technology to enhance and improve the physical and cognitive abilities of individuals. We believe in a holistic ecosystem for the development and deployment of human augmentation that considers the technological, ethical, societal, moral, and regulatory aspects.

Institute for Digital Security and Behaviour (IDSB)

The Institute for Digital Security and Behaviour is responding to the evolving security risks of digital technologies from a socio-technical perspective.

The Institute leverages and combines Bath鈥檚 expertise in social and data science as applied to security, to create an entry point for interdisciplinary academic research and collaboration with industry and government.

Our aim is to help make the UK a more innovative, safe, secure, and resilient digital society.

Institute of Coding (IoC)

We鈥檙e a large national consortium of educators, employers and outreach organisations that is co-developing new courses to help a larger and more diverse group of learners into digital careers.

The IoC was launched in January 2018 in response to the UK鈥檚 digital skills gap, with 拢20 million in funding from the Office for Students. With this initial project complete, we are continuing our work across a variety of exciting projects, including developing and delivering a series of Skills Bootcamps for the Department for Education.
