SOC Research Centre
Where Tech Meets Real-World Change
At School of Coding & AI, our research focuses on applying technology to solve real-world challenges across education, health, entrepreneurship, business, and environmental sustainability.
Through active participation in over 27 international research projects, including those funded by Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, and other global bodies, we have delivered impactful work in areas such as inclusive digital education, AI in healthcare, female entrepreneurship, circular economy, and green skills development. Our Birmingham-based ‘The SOC International AI Research Lab’ acts as a collaborative hub, connecting researchers, students, and industry to pilot scalable, tech-driven solutions.
We work closely with UK and international universities in 17 different countries, NGOs, and public sector organisations to co-create knowledge that drives economic and social progress. Whether it’s developing new AI tools for classrooms, exploring pathways to net-zero through tech innovation, or enhancing business resilience in underserved communities, our research is always grounded in impact, access, and equity. We welcome partners who share our vision for innovation that is inclusive, sustainable, and globally relevant.
