The UKRI TAS Hub is bringing together researchers and experts from many disciplines to carry out research into the adoption and development of autonomous systems for the future benefit of society. The programme is co-ordinated by a team from the Universities of Southampton, Nottingham and King’s College London in collaboration with over 60 industry partners.

The TAS programme also aims to develop and train future specialists in AI. The Doctoral Training Network will provide PhD students from a wide range of disciplines with opportunities to share research, participate in joint training and events, and engage with TAS academics and industry partners.

You can find out more at this Launch meeting.

The meeting will take place via Zoom. Once you have registered, additional details will be included in your Event Confirmation email.
