University of Surrey DLT Testbed
The University of Surrey is at the forefront of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), with a research portfolio of over £3m in UKRI/EPSRC Digital Economy funded projects undertaking cross-disciplinary research that is transforming domains as diverse as digital records, healthcare, electronic voting, trust and identity.
Blockchain enables us to keep tamper-proof data without relying on a centralised authority. Artificial Intelligence (AI) helps us make sense of that secure data. Uniquely, Surrey's Blockchain research fuses these technologies, enabling new ways to deliver healthcare, secure our public archives secure, and keep us safe online.
Surrey Blockchain unites three world-leading research centres: Centre for Vision Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP) with 30 years of pioneering research in AI. Surrey Centre for Cyber Security (SCCS) a GCHQ Accredited Centre of Excellence. Centre for Digital Economy (CoDE) with expertise in digital transformation.

Working with The National Archives and Tim Berners-Lee's Open Data Institute (ODI), Surrey are using Blockchain technologies to help safeguard the integrity and future sustainability of our digital public archives.
CoMEHeRe: DLT for Preventative HealthcareCoMEHeRe is working with Biobeats to explore how Blockchain can be used to broker data from wearable fitness bands to healthcare providers, giving users greater agency over their data and offering both new opportunities to commodify their data and new models for preventative healthcare.
TAPESTRY: Trusted Digital IdentityTAPESTRY is de-risking the Digital Economy through new tools to enable people, businesses and services to connect safely online. TAPESTRY uses Blockchain to determine the provenance of a digital identity, to help users make better decisions on who they can trust online.
