The University of Edinburgh is an internationally leading centre for Informatics, Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, and Computer Science. Our work has been rated excellent in both teaching (SHEFC Teaching Quality Assessment for Computer Studies) and research.
Research is carried out within research institutes:
Centre for Intelligent Systems and
Their Applications
Institute for Adaptive and Neural
Computation
Institute
for Communicating and Collaborative Systems
Institute for Computing Systems
Architecture
Institute
of Perception, Action and Behaviour
e-Science Institute
Laboratory for Foundations of
Computer Science
Informatics Life-Sciences Institute
Each institute is led by an academic Director, and contains a number of closely related research groups. Institutes act as 'villages' within the wider informatics community. Academic staff are appointed to the School, and choose to belong to one or more institutes. Operationally, each institute manages a portfolio of funding and specialist facilities (data, software, equipment, etc.), and creates and nurtures a community of research staff and students.
