Course Description
This short course is designed to help professionals and businesses understand how to leverage the UK’s R&D Tax Credit scheme—especially those working in artificial intelligence (AI) and data science. Over three concise lectures, participants will learn what qualifies as R&D, how to structure their documentation, and ways to maximize financial benefits. The course also covers funding options, the patent application process, and how these relate to the broader innovation ecosystem in the UK.

- Have a clear understanding of R&D tax credits, their purpose, and how they can benefit businesses.
- Know how to identify qualifying R&D activities in AI and data science projects.
