Accenture Turing strategic partnership: Call for expressions of interest - digital twins
The Turing recently launched a five-year strategic partnership with Accenture to advance data science and AI research with a focus on delivering substantial business and societal value.
Our partnership has several interconnected workstreams. The most significant is research sponsorship which encompasses three areas of focus:

1. Data sharing (incorporating synthetic data, PETs and FEDS)
2. Digital twins (incorporating agent based models and multiagent systems)
3. AI in a changing world

Through this call we are seeking to fund projects that fall under the "digital twins" research theme.

We have £300,000 to award through this call. We are seeking to award up to £150,000 per project. In special circumstances there may be an opportunity to increase the funding awarded for an outstanding project.

For further detail, including examples of possible research directions, and assessment and eligibility criteria, please read the full guidance<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.turing.ac.uk%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2F2021-08%2Faccenture_turing_strategic_partnership.expression_of_interest_guidance_notes._dtv2.pdf&data=04%7C01%7Csdd1%40soton.ac.uk%7C546fd5b262b345965ba008d96ded1e11%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637661689445945983%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=yRpt0SDKF%2BpKnYGzw0pBGnbK7yhkDNgcZsAhbsVGjvc%3D&reserved=0>.
