5 years of DRIVE
In 2018, our secure digital research environment launched across GOSH and University College London. This set the foundation for the Data Research, Innovation and Virtual Environments unit. Since then, we've completed more than 300 projects!
​
To reflect on our impact so far, we've published a new report packed with information, case studies and some great photos, of course!
The physical space
DRIVE is located at Level 1, 40 Bernard Street, WC1N 1LE, less than 10 minutes from GOSH and the UCL GOS Institute of Child Health, providing readily accessible space, which brings together expertise from medicine, academia, data science and industry. These provide the opportunity to host unique events and maximise productivity and collaboration.
