On June 7, 2025, we proudly mark the 1-year anniversary of the Centre for Intelligence of Things (CIoTh) at the University of Greater Manchester (formerly University of Bolton).
In just one year, CIoTh has emerged as a world-class research and innovation hub, shaping the global AI landscape through:
🔹 30+ peer-reviewed publications
🔹 30+ active research intents 
🔹 66 postgraduate students in the MRes AI & Computing programme
🔹 Academic and industry collaborations across 🇳🇬 Nigeria, 🇨🇮 Côte d’Ivoire, 🇨🇳 China, 🇮🇳 India, 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka, 🇬🇧 UK
🔹 Strategic projects with WTO, NWAS, and SCAN
From launching the Research Kitchen, to hosting the landmark “November to Remember”, and upcoming new High-Performance Computing (HPC) facility with SCAN—our journey has been bold, focused, and global.
As Professor Celestine Iwendi, Head of Centre, puts it:
“The AI Eagle has landed. We will not stop until we reach the goals we’ve set. CIoTh is a global movement of ideas, innovation, and impact.”
