Access to large-scale AI Research Resources

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), on behalf of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) is now inviting researchers and innovators from across the UK to express their interest in accessing large-scale AI compute resources, Isambard-AI and Dawn compute services.

This is an exciting opportunity for researchers and innovators to gain access to advanced hardware, software, and expert support to drive advancements, tackle complex challenges and achieve groundbreaking results.

The EoI call is issued on behalf of DSIT (the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) and it is a great opportunity to test the systems ahead of their official launch.

DSIT are particularly keen to hear from large-scale and ambitious research projects that may contribute to delivering the government’s five missions:

• growing the economy,

• an NHS fit for the future,

• safer streets,

• opportunity for all,

• and making Britain a clean energy superpower. 

Some potential projects focused on these might include:

• Applying foundation models to particular scientific disciplines, such as climate science or biology

• Developing autonomous scientists capable of generating novel hypotheses, coding up basic experiments, analysing results, and increasing research productivity

• Exploring new paradigms in basic AI research such as in AI safety or novel architectures.

Applications will be assessed on a regular rolling basis, so we encourage you to express your interest in using the systems as soon as possible.
