Research and Collaboration

Kaiasm is involved in continuous research and development cycles to develop its software product, OntoKai. To maintain our best-of-breed practice in this area and our determination to rapidly advance the state of the art in knowledge representation, we are undertaking research activities and are interested in collaboration. Please get in touch if you are interested in research collaboration.

Professional Bodies and Working Groups

National Cyber-Physical Infrastructure (NCPI)

NCPI is a government and industry collaboration to amplify innovations, break down silos and build a shared vision for cyber-physical system innovation in the UK jointly led by Digital Catapult, Connected Places Catapult and the High Value Manufacturing Catapult and supported by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT). More information on NCPI here.

Kaiasm representatives attend the Data Sharing Working Group, an informal body supporting data sharing and interoperability within the National Critical Infrastructure sector.

Cranfield University

Kaiasm supports Cranfield University, serving on the Data Science Advisory Board. Kaiasm engaged closely in syllabus development for the Data Science Degree Apprenticeship.

The Turing Institute

Two Kaiasm staff members are Experts in Residence at the Turing Institute as part of the Turing Way programme.
