Connected Futures

Through Connected Futures we harness innovation to build trust in the digital infrastructures that underpin modern lives and to ensure that they benefit everyone.

Our research addresses the critical issues of living and working in the digital age and focuses on the rapid contemporary changes in the interactions between people, material objects and digital media worlds. From how to develop the internet of things in safe, human-centred and reliable ways to exploring how digital technologies can enable the creation and distribution of content for social, cultural and business purposes and enable transactions in secure and trusted ways. Collaborating with industry, we turn ideas into reality and advance our connected lives.
