about us

ABOUT OUR INSTITUTE

We go to the root of the data to understand its complexity, extract its value and turn it into an asset for society

What is Foundational Research on Data

We are a reference research center that brings together scientists from the areas of computer science, statistics, political sciences, and communications, with the goal of developing interdisciplinary frontier science to address the foundational problems on data.

Interdisciplinary Emblematic Projects

Our work is organized in five transversal Emblematic Projects. Through them we look for the development of applications that help us contribute to the strengthening of a culture of transparency and the use of information at the service of society.

Research Areas

The complexity of data makes it difficult to get the most out of it. The Millennium Institute Foundational Research on Data aims to study data in all its complexity, from theoretical to applied problems, ranging from the heterogeneity of sources, their volume and production rate, their distribution, privacy dilemmas and social implications, among many other current and urgent research topics in science of data.
