We maximise the value of diverse and nationally significant Smart Data through geographic integration, enrichment and validation. We support and empower our users to generate location-aware insight and impact for projects in the public good.
We offer data under three tiers: Open, Safeguarded and Secure. Access to Safeguarded/Secure data is through a reviewed application process. Secure data is remotely accessed through our Trusted Research Environment based in London.
To download our Open datasets, and to apply for Safeguarded/Secure datasets, we ask users to create an account on GeoDS Data (https://data.geods.ac.uk/). This allows us to understand the impact of our research, and aggregated user statistics are part of our funder's reporting requirements.
We were formerly (2014-2025) part of the CDRC (Consumer Data Research Centre) and a some of our repositories were created during this time.
