Presentation

The Andalusian Interuniversity Institute on Data Science and Computational Intelligence (University of Granada and University of Jaén), hereinafter DaSCI Institute, is a research institute promoted by the universities of Granada (UGR), Jaén (UJA) and Córdoba (UCA).

DaSCI Institute aims to promote research, innovation and technology transfer in IA to our socioeconomic environment. The DaSCI Institute focuses on Artificial Intelligence (AI) research, focusing on Data Science, Computational Intelligence and AI-based technological applications.

The institute offers specialized training and scientific-technical consultancy services to companies.

DaSCI Institute Vision

DaSCI’s vision reflects three points of view integrated in a single structure:

  • Data Science (DS) and Computational Intelligence (CI) play a crucial role in the development of intelligent systems and their applications.
  • Intelligent systems represent an essential means for innovation.
  • Innovation drives sustainable regional growth.

The first point corresponds to DaSCI’s vision, where we establish our perception that both disciplines (DS and CI) are the key to intelligent systems. The second sentence focuses on technology transfer, presenting our main contribution in the world of innovation. The third sentence is supported by numerous studies in the most advanced societies.

This vision will only be attainable through:

  • The promotion of quality scientific research, without forgetting its technological aspects and applied character.
  • The transfer of knowledge to society, the existing advanced technologies and those developed in the Institute itself.
  • The use of resources through the joint use of the available infrastructure, strengthening the processes of attracting common resources and the use of shared support services.
  • The organisation and delivery of specialisation and professional updating courses within the scope of its competences in accordance with current regulations.
  • Raising the awareness of research staff to carry out a task of disseminating knowledge, science and technology.
