We're delighted to say that we (and the rest of the School of Computing) have just moved into a brand new £96 million building - the Sir William Henry Bragg Building. Everything is sparkly new and the atrium (see picture) is spectacular! What a nice change from the austere 1960s atmosphere of the EC Stoner Building...

3-4:30pm 26th May, 2021. Please join us in this exciting event: Teams meeting link  

16 researchers, interns and PhD students from five universities took part in the annual Tableau Visualization Workshop, which we run for LIDA, the CDRC and the Alan Turing Institute to provide CPD in data visualization. “I recommend this for anyone looking to get into the BI space” said one attendee on Twitter.

We like to do both of those, and when snow falls the playing is most important!
