At the School of Cybernetics, we have a strong drive to develop research and education through collaboration. We believe ideas should flow easily into and out from the School. This is the path to meaningful innovation.
Our partnership projects bring cybernetics to a range of sectors, organisations and people who are also trying to think differently about how to bring emerging technologies safely and responsibly into the world. These partnerships cross many themes, issues, and disciplines. Our diverse collection of projects represent the broad application of cybernetics to challenges and opportunities in many sectors.
