Featured update 12 December 2025

LSICT launches Applied AI and Data Lab

LSICT has launched an Applied AI and Data Lab to co-create solutions with partners in finance, health and public services. The Lab will support joint projects, student dissertations and executive education programmes in machine learning, data engineering and intelligent systems.

The Lab will initially focus on pilot projects in responsible AI, secure data engineering and decision intelligence, working closely with industry and public sector partners. Staff and students will be able to collaborate on real-world challenges, build portfolios and generate outputs that feed directly into teaching and public benefit.

As activities grow, the Applied AI and Data Lab will also host short courses, bootcamps and themed hackathons linked to LSICT’s taught programmes and research priorities.

Latest news

Programme update 28 November 2025

New doctoral pathways in intelligent computing

LSICT is preparing doctoral pathways in AI, data science and cybersecurity, combining flexible delivery with strong supervision and industry engagement. These routes are aimed at working professionals and international learners.

The proposed pathways will emphasise applied research, real-world problem solving and co-supervision with industry and international partners. Learners will be able to align their research with sector needs in areas such as financial technology, health informatics, intelligent infrastructure and secure systems.

Doctoral routes will be complemented by structured research training, peer communities of practice and opportunities to present work at internal and external events.

Scholarships 5 November 2025

Digital Futures Scholarship scheme (in development)

LSICT is planning a Digital Futures Scholarship scheme to support learners from disadvantaged or under-represented backgrounds to access postgraduate study in AI, data science and cybersecurity.

The scheme is expected to offer partial fee waivers and targeted support for applicants who face financial or structural barriers to participation. Priority will be given to learners from communities with low participation in higher education and sectors with critical digital skills gaps.

Further information on eligibility, application timelines and the number of awards will be published once funding and governance arrangements are finalised.

Upcoming events

Online seminar January 2026

AI, Ethics and Public Benefit

A live online seminar exploring how AI and intelligent systems can be aligned with public benefit, ethical practice and regulatory expectations, with case studies and discussion.

The seminar will introduce key frameworks for responsible AI, including transparency, accountability and fairness, and will showcase example projects where ethical considerations shaped system design. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and reflect on how these principles apply in their own contexts.

Registration details and joining links will be published closer to the date. The session is intended for students, practitioners and interested members of the public.

Campus event Spring 2026

LSICT Research & Innovation Showcase

A one-day event at the London campus highlighting staff and student projects in AI, data science, cybersecurity and intelligent systems, with invited industry guests.

The showcase will feature poster sessions, live demonstrations and short talks from project teams, alongside networking opportunities with partners and prospective employers. It will also act as a platform for identifying future collaboration and innovation themes.

A draft programme and call for contributions will be shared in advance so that learners and partners can plan their involvement.

Call for participation To be announced

Hackathons and themed workshops

LSICT is planning a series of compact hackathons and themed workshops in areas such as secure coding, data visualisation and responsible AI, open to students and partners.

These activities will be designed to be accessible for mixed-experience groups, combining short teaching inputs with hands-on group work. Outputs may include prototype tools, visualisations, policy briefs or short technical reports.

Expressions of interest will be invited once dates and themes are confirmed. Future events will be listed on this page with registration details.
