Helping Rothamsted Research connect science and society
Creating digital experiences that make world-leading research accessible, collaborative and ready for a changing world.
We understand your challenges
As one of the world’s most respected agricultural research institutions, Rothamsted Research sits at the centre of global priorities - from climate resilience to sustainable food production. But turning world-class science into accessible, actionable insight brings its own digital challenges.
- Tackling global complexity: Your research addresses some of society’s toughest challenges - climate change, soil health, and food security - requiring data and communication systems that are as robust as your science.
- Making knowledge accessible: Engaging policymakers, industry and the public with clarity, while maintaining scientific integrity.
- Modernising legacy systems: Decades of valuable data and research outputs need to be unified within secure, connected platforms.
- Demonstrating impact and value: Funders and stakeholders expect transparency and measurable outcomes.
- Enabling global collaboration: Facilitating seamless partnerships across disciplines, sectors and geographies.
- Driving sustainable innovation: Balancing technological progress with environmental leadership and long-term efficiency.
