Asterisk brings together scientists to advance technology and science for a better future.

We are the UK’s first worker-owned research laboratory.

We are a democratically managed co-operative, meaning all of our partner scientists collectively oversee the company and define its vision.

We want to work on challenging problems, cutting across disciplinary and geographical borders. We are currently working at the intersection of deep learning, Earth observation and climate science. 

We believe scientific research should be carried out for the benefit of all, and that those contributing to it should get fair pay, excellent working conditions, and room to grow.

All of our scientific outputs are open-source and to be used freely for non-commercial applications.
