Our faculty were among the first to draw the world’s attention to “fake news” and defined the concept of “big data”. They have undertaken ground-breaking research into technology and wellbeing using realtime industry data and persuaded major global firms to adopt a new methods and practices. And OII researchers have developed the first global ratings system for firms operating in the gig economy and had a significant role in influencing the online harms debate in the UK.

Many of our talented alumni go on to perform important roles and achieve significant accomplishments in the world of policymaking, technology development, civil society and academia.
