The Centre was founded in 2006, and its work focuses on researching digital methodologies, information and computational solutions for academic research and industrial applications.[6] OeRC has received EPSRC UK government funding.[7]
The Centre participated in SOCIAM: The Theory and Practice of Social Machines, led in Nigel Shadbolt with David De Roure, Director OeRC, as co-investigator.[8] OeRC is home to over 50 researchers. Disciplines the Centre is involved in are as diverse as musicology and astronomy, including international collaborations such as the Square Kilometre Array.[9]
The Centre was headed by its Director David De Roure[10] and Ron Perrott , a visiting professor at the OeRC[11] before August 2017 when the Centre integrated with the Department of Engineering Science, with Wes Armour serving as the new head. Professor Susanna-Assunta Sansone is the current Director of OeRC[12] with Prof Wes Armour and Prof David De Roure remaining as faculty. Other faculty include Min Chen, Janet Pierrehumbert, Anne Trefethen, and David Wallom[1][13]
