The Oxford e-Research Centre (OeRC)[2] is part of the Department of Engineering Science[3] within the University of Oxford[4] in England and is a multidisciplinary Data science research and education institute.[5]

The Centre was founded in 2006, and its work focuses on researching digital methodologies, information and computational solutions for academic research and industrial applications.[6] OeRC has received EPSRC UK government funding.[7]

The Centre participated in SOCIAM: The Theory and Practice of Social Machines, led in Nigel Shadbolt with David De Roure, Director OeRC, as co-investigator.[8] OeRC is home to over 50 researchers. Disciplines the Centre is involved in are as diverse as musicology and astronomy, including international collaborations such as the Square Kilometre Array.[9]

The Centre was headed by its Director David De Roure[10] and Ron Perrott ({{{2}}}), a visiting professor at the OeRC.[11] In August 2017 the Centre integrated with the Department of Engineering Science, with Wes Armour ({{{2}}}) serving as the new head. Other faculty include Janet Pierrehumbert, Susanna-Assunta Sansone, Anne Trefethen and David Wallom ({{{2}}})[1][12]
