The Centre for Health Inform­at­ics (CHI), a Depart­ment of the School of Inform­at­ics, has for more than 20 years been a des­ig­nated Research Centre of City Uni­ver­sity Lon­don, devel­op­ing advanced con­cepts, meth­ods and tech­niques of med­ical and health inform­at­ics for applic­a­tion in the solu­tion of clin­ical and health­care prob­lems. It is also well known for a Mas­ters degree (MSc) in Health Inform­at­ics which is pro­du­cing future lead­ers who are equipped to func­tion in mid-level inform­a­tion man­age­ment and tech­no­logy pos­i­tions with a strong basis for con­tin­ued career growth.

The Depart­ment of Elec­tronic and Elec­trical Engin­eer­ing at Lough­bor­ough Uni­ver­sity is part of one of the largest multi-disciplinary Engin­eer­ing Fac­ulties in the UK, and aims to develop and nur­ture the world’s top engin­eer­ing tal­ent to meet the chal­lenges of an increas­ingly com­plex world. Our research and edu­ca­tion pro­grammes are integ­rated to sup­port the tech­nical and com­mer­cial needs of soci­ety and to extend the bound­ar­ies of cur­rent knowledge.

Glob­ally recog­nised for the qual­ity of both our research and teach­ing, we are espe­cially noted for the strong links we enjoy with industry. Lough­bor­ough gradu­ates are extremely sought after by industry and com­merce world-wide, and our under­gradu­ate and post­gradu­ate pro­grammes are con­sist­ently ranked as excel­lent in both stu­dent sur­vey and inde­pend­ent assess­ments.

OASIS (Organ­iz­a­tion for the Advance­ment of Struc­tured Inform­a­tion Stand­ards) is a not-for-profit con­sor­tium that drives the devel­op­ment, con­ver­gence and adop­tion of open stand­ards for the global inform­a­tion soci­ety. The con­sor­tium pro­duces more Web ser­vices stand­ards than any other organ­iz­a­tion along with stand­ards for secur­ity, e-business, and stand­ard­iz­a­tion efforts in the pub­lic sec­tor and for application-specific mar­kets. Foun­ded in 1993, OASIS has more than 5,000 par­ti­cipants rep­res­ent­ing over 600 organ­iz­a­tions and indi­vidual mem­bers in 100 countries.

The World Wide Web Con­sor­tium (W3C) is an inter­na­tional con­sor­tium where Mem­ber organ­iz­a­tions, a full-time staff, and the pub­lic work together to develop Web stand­ards, includ­ing those for the core XML spe­cific­a­tions. W3C primar­ily pur­sues its mis­sion through the cre­ation of Web stand­ards and guidelines designed to ensure long-term growth for the Web. Nearly 400 organ­iz­a­tions are Mem­bers of the Consortium.
