Discover how we’re
using the power of digital data
The Centre for Digital Data Research (CDDR) at Manchester Metropolitan University harnesses the power of cloud computing, artificial intelligence and big data to accelerate research and drive new discoveries.
The Centre for Digital Data Research is a multidisciplinary team of engineers, technical professionals and academics dedicated to helping researchers overcome the technical challenges that can limit or slow their work.
We provide hands-on support alongside access to advanced digital infrastructure, enabling researchers to focus on what matters most: their research.
Our expertise spans data analytics, research software engineering, statistics and digital infrastructure. We support a wide range of requirements, including compute, data storage, web hosting, source code management, and AI and machine learning workflows.
By combining specialist knowledge with robust, scalable technology, we enable researchers across all disciplines to tackle complex problems and accelerate discovery. The CDDR is the central point of access for digital research capabilities, empowering ambitious research now and into the future.
