What is ADAC? The Advanced Data Analysis Centre (ADAC) was funded by the University Strategic Development Fund to support research by the analysis and interpretation of complex data. Why is this important? • Complex data underpins current research • Innovative analysis can prompt new discoveries • Excellent research can often be stalled due to a lack of expertise in
conducting data analysis • ADAC supports high-class research by providing analysts to help with
• development of a research strategy • grant writing • interpretation of complex data
