DAIV - Case Studies

In 2016, ESRC Business and Local Government Data Research Centre launched its Data Analytics Innovation Vouchers (DAIV) initiative.

DAIV allows small- to medium-sized businesses, charities, and not-for-profit organisations to apply for £2000 (excl. VAT) worth of knowledge sharing from the Centre's academic experts. The initial offer was well-received and featured below are examples of some of the projects the Centre was able to assist with.


We are still accepting applications for our DAIV initiative. If you are a small or medium-sized business, charity, or not-for-profit organisation,
