The purpose of the Hub is to support UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) staff and partners, including the wider UK Government, in the use of cutting-edge data science tools and frontier data sources for international development.
Tom speaks about the Data Science Campus and how we can ensure new data techniques can be taken up.
