The University of Leeds holds expertise in Earth observation and advanced computer techniques, which has led to their role in the Met Office Academic Partnership (MOAP) and the decision to locate the headquarters of UK centers of excellence, such as the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) and the Centre for the Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tectonics (COMET). The University of Leeds is home to a number of research institutes and world-leading expertise, which includes data science, artificial intelligence, communications, quantum technology, and climate science. These are housed within the Alan Turing Institute, the Leeds Institute for Data Analytics (LIDA), the Institute for Communication and Power Networks, the Wired Core and Access Networks (WCAN), the Priestley International Centre for Climate, and SENSE – Centre for Satellite Data in Environmental Science. The Leeds University Rocketry Association (LURA) provides a space for students to design, test, and build their own rockets, payloads, and engines. They aim to compete in competitions, drive innovation within rocketry, and continue to inspire students to pursue careers in the space sector.
