Secure Connected Intelligence – AI and the Data Revolution
Researchers at Queen’s are on a mission to make the changing global digital space both safer and faster. Our world leading teams in cyberspace resilience and networks and connectivity are breaking new ground in the digital sphere, as our teams in geographical information science are doing in the physical.
Novel computer systems and changing computing paradigms require agile and cutting age research which can be translated quickly and effectively into real world practice. Using data fusing enabling technologies will assist in socio economic development, but will also act as a positive driver for the health of populations in the future, and for their safety and security.
Working within and across disciplines, we are excited by the prospect of understanding and pursuing digital breakthroughs which can act as a catalyst for new and creative cultural practices.

Driving Innovation in Clinical Health Care Through
The Belfast Region City Deal
The Global Innovation Institute (GII) is an innovation centre in digital technologies, applying cyber security, wireless connectivity, artificial intelligence, machine learning and scalable computing approaches to address local, national, and global challenges, both societal and economic. Its primary sectoral focus areas will be in health sciences and agri-food, and expertise across these domains will enable GII to adopt a “Digital One Health” approach – from soil to society – harnessing the secure, connected intelligence.
RESEARCH CENTRES AND INSTITUTES
Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology (ECIT)
Linking researchers from a wide variety of electronic and communications disciplines on such a scale that rapid and successful addressing of major societal challenges is possible. It comprises the Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT) - a leading centre in Europe for cyber security research/innovation, the Centre for Wireless Innovation (CWI) – which invents the underpinning technologies for mobile, medical and space applications and the Centre for Data Science and Scalable Computing (DSSC) - which conducts research into core machine learning and data science for heterogeneous data sources.
Our Centre for Secure Information Technology has played a major role in establishing the region’s world-recognised status in cybersecurity. It is a founding partner in the Global EPIC3 world-wide network of 24 cybersecurity research and innovation ecosystems.
