We are a world leader in our field, with 100 researchers and a broad-based, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research agenda. Our three major themes (intelligence, agents, multimedia) come together in a number of grand challenges for computer science, including grid computing, the Semantic Web and pervasive computing environments. (See here for PhD opportunities in web science.)
