DTIC has been awarded £372,500 from Innovate UK’s TechLocal programme to establish the AI Professional Practice Studio.
The Studio is a credit-bearing professional practice programme focused on Scottish deep tech SMEs. Teams of Honours-level students from business, computing science, engineering, economics and data science will work with organisations through structured 10-week AI Innovation Sprints, supported by academic oversight and specialist AI mentoring. Over the life of the project, 120 students will work with 40 organisations.
The project is led by Professor Dominic Chalmers (Principal Investigator) with Dr Felix Honecker (Co-investigator).
