Welcome to the community repository for The Alan Turing Data-Centric Engineering. Here, you will find the community documentation and related information from DCE.
Our mission is to Bring together world-leading academic institutions and major industrial partners from across the engineering sector, to address new challenges in data-centric engineering.
As an innovative research and knowledge program, DCE thrives on its ability to unite individuals, making community management and building a cornerstone of its success. Positioned as one of its four strategic pillars, community engagement in DCE is both a goal and a driving force behind DCE's generative function. The art of cultivating and sustaining the DCE community begins with stakeholder mapping to help us identify who is in the DCE community and its broader ecosystem. We have further mapped where people interact and how, as well as the opportunities we can leverage to strengthen international stakeholder engagement, collaboration, and the long-term impact of DCE in the UK and worldwide. Stakeholders mapping has led to a journey of understanding the current state, such as the structural composition of the community, interaction patterns, and ways of working. The current state has further allowed us to ask questions such as our desired ways of working, how we can evolve and open our operational modes, and what impact we want to have in our community and the broader society.
This initial piece of community documentation work has allowed us to capture the narrative of the community's present while envisioning its future trajectory with involvement from DCE leaders, researchers, and community members through 1:1 meetings and group-based discussions at community events.

DCE aims to develop a decentralised structure that fosters autonomy and flexibility among researchers and potentially lead to a diverse range of research directions. However, it keeps the identity of a community of practice, where members involved in research and para-research come together to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices. DCE community promotes continuous learning and skill development in data-centric engineering with the underpinning values and practices of open science culture: transparency, collaboration, and sharing of research output.
