Research

Research lies at the heart of the WSI's success, positioning it as a world leader in Web Science knowledge and innovation and fuelling our extensive education, training, enterprise and impact activities.

We create exciting opportunities for researchers across the University of Southampton and beyond, to collaborate in a range of interdisciplinary research activities. Our members include researchers from the social and computational sciences, the humanities, medicine and health sciences, business and law and the natural sciences.

This distinctive interdisciplinarity allows us to establish novel socio-technical approaches to tackle the major challenges facing society and support industry, government and the third sector.

We also head major international research programmes that are funded by UK Research Councils, the EU, government and industrial partners.
