The Erlangen programme
The Erlangen AI Hub is one of nine AI research hubs across the UK funded by EPSRC as part of a major £80 million investment to develop next-generation AI technologies. The hub brings together leading research teams from the University of Oxford, Durham University, Imperial College London, Queen Mary University of London, the University of Aberdeen, and the University of Southampton.
With a growing understanding of the geometric nature of data and intelligence, the Erlangen AI Hub draws inspiration from Klein’s pioneering work. We galvanise new AI technologies based on the solid foundations of pure mathematics, harnessing the power of classical theories and encouraging new ones, in mathematics and beyond, to empower the next generation of AI.
The hub operates in partnership with a diverse group of industry partners, which are leaders in their respective fields, from large multinationals and public sector bodies to British ‘unicorn’ companies and SMEs. While AI is a core business for some, others recognise the significant role it will have in their future operations.
