Join us for a captivating journey through time and innovation at Bayes Centre and Inspace, located within the University of Edinburgh’s city centre campus. As part of Edinburgh Doors Open Day 2025 programme, “Windows to the Past, Doors to the Future” this event invites you to explore the diverse tapestry of buildings and infrastructure at the Bayes Centre complex that shapes innovation.
Come along to this event to experience guided tours and celebrate the award-winning architecture of the Bayes Centre complex, offering a unique opportunity to appreciate how architectural heritage merges with and supports current and future innovation.
The Bayes Centre is the University of Edinburgh’s Innovation Hub for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. The technical strengths brought together in the Bayes Centre build on world-leading academic excellence in the mathematical, computational, engineering, and natural sciences in the University of Edinburgh’s College of Science and Engineering. The Bayes Centre offers a new kind of collaborative, multidisciplinary proving ground where we develop innovative technological solutions for the benefit of society.
Inspace is a dynamic exhibition and events space, part of the Institute for Design Informatics, which focuses on fusing design and creative methodologies with data, data science and data-driven technologies. Learn about the cutting-edge facilities at Inspace, including interactive technologies and pioneering design features that inspire creativity and exploration through connecting art, design, research and technology. Venture behind the scenes to visit our studio and workshop where student and staff create prototypes and experiences that make real to people the ideas that underpin the data society, and engage with multimedia displays and hands-on activities that highlight a snippet of the Institutes research.
