ONS Data Science Campus


New hub for UK data science opens at Office for National Statistics

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) will today open its new Data Science Campus at its Newport HQ, part of a £17m investment in statistics announced in March last year.

The Campus has been established to use new data sources and technologies to provide statistics for policy makers and businesses about the fast-moving UK economy and society.

Creating this resource for the nation is part of the ONS's ongoing programme of work to meet the challenge of providing richer and more real-time statistics to inform decision makers.

About the Data Science Campus

The modern economy provides both the challenge of measuring fast-evolving forms of economic activity, and the opportunity to exploit huge amounts of new data and information to help policymakers, researchers and businesses.

The ONS Data Science Campus has been created to respond to this challenge and will act as a hub for the whole of the UK public and private sectors to gain practical advantage from the increased investment in data science research and capability building.

The goal of the Campus will be to build a new generation of tools and technologies to exploit the growth and availability of innovative data sources and to provide rich informed measurement and analyses on the economy, the global environment and wider society.

The goal of the Data Science Campus is to explore how sources such as administrative data & social data, and techniques such as machine learning and natural language parsing, can improve our understanding of the UK's economy, communities & people.

The team will be posting updates and sharing projects on their blog.
