Did you know the Informatics Forum boasts a roof terrace offering panoramic views of the iconic Arthur’s Seat? 
The University's history in pioneering artificial intelligence and computer science research dates back to 1963 with the establishment of dedicated research groups and has grown to a vibrant hub of activity within the state-of-the-art Informatics Forum and the adjacent Bayes Centre and InSpace. Opened in September 2008 the Informatics Forum, designed as a 'Forum for Interaction', now provides space for over 500 scientists pursuing research in fields such as computer science, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science.
