CP Lab Newcastle

The quality of urban life in the future will increasingly depend on the complex relationship between computer systems, engineering, physics and human behavior. This relationship between people and the technology we use will increasingly affect all aspects of our daily lives, from how we power our homes and businesses to how we produce our food. Business, government and industry will depend on integrated technology that could offer great improvements to our lives, but is also vulnerable to cyber attack and software failure. The need to understand and bring these different elements together to work efficiently will be critically important for society to thrive. The University of Newcastle's Cyber Physical Lab is part of the Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) at the state-of-the-art Newcastle Helix site, implementing the regional vision that grows the thriving digital economy in the North East of England. In addition to Newcastle University, DIH offers services through the National Innovation Center for Data (NICD), delivering actionable data skills to organisations; The Coding Institute, Bridging the Digital Skills Gap and the Arrow Programme, aligning the needs of regional SMEs with the University of Newcastle.
