Still deciding between NeurIPS and EurIPS?
We are delighted to announce that the 1st Workshop on Epistemic Intelligence in Machine Learning will take place in conjunction with EurIPS2025, this December in Copenhagen - check out our workshop website: sites.google.com/view/eiml-eu...
At Manchester, we’re building on Turing’s legacy:
800+ AI researchers
£75m active grants
Projects in health, climate, energy & beyond
From predicting floods to accelerating drug discovery, AI here is tackling real-world challenges.

Turing believed computers should learn like children: start simple, then develop through training + experience. That idea underpins today’s machine learning. His foresight still shapes AI research.
In 1950, Alan Turing - while at @manchester.ac.uk - proposed a simple but profound experiment: can a machine convincingly imitate human thought?
We now call it the Turing Test. 🧠💻
