Who we are

An interdisciplinary AI community

An interdisciplinary community spanning computer science, engineering, business, law, medicine and many more; from those building AI to those putting it to work in their own fields.

That breadth is our strength: we offer sponsors both deep technical talent and a wide audience of future professionals learning to apply AI in the real world. We bring everyone together—from complete beginners to seasoned builders—around talks, workshops, socials and hackathons.

Our reach

  • 500+ active members (cross-discipline)
  • Direct access to 1,600+ Computer Science undergraduate and master's students
  • Partnerships with multiple schools at Leeds, Leeds University Union and an active alumni network

Based at the University of Leeds—a Russell Group university ranked 77th in the world (QS 2026) and home to 39,000+ students.
