Data & Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure
DAFNI is the National Platform to satisfy the computational needs in support of data analysis; infrastructure research; and strategic thinking for the UK’s long term planning and investment needs.
The platform will support academic research that is aiming to provide the UK with a world leading infrastructure system that is more: efficient, reliable, resilient and affordable.
It will achieve this by enabling the research community to conduct research that is able to generate new insights at a higher level of detail and accuracy than ever before.
The key to research and innovation for infrastructure systems now lies in data. DAFNI enables the secure and reliable sharing of data so that researchers and innovators can solve problems and provide new solutions. If DAFNI didn’t exist, we would have to invent it! But we don’t have to because the team at STFC have been working for eight years to develop a data and modelling infrastructure that can provide the simulation and digital twin solutions that our infrastructure systems urgently need.”

Chair of DAFNI Governance Board
