She is Regius Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southampton, founded in 1862.

The University of Southampton's Web Science Institute, of which Dame Hall is an executive director, focuses on research and innovation on issues related to data privacy and trust in artificial intelligence.

Established in 2006 by MIT and the University of Southampton under the name Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI) to coordinate the social and technical aspects of the World Wide Web. Renamed the Web Science Trust (WST) in 2009, it is a UK charitable foundation which aims to support the global development of web science. Wendy Hall was a co-founder with Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Sir Nigel Shadbolt, and she is now the Executive Director.

She is a member of the Advisory Council of the Campaign for Science and Engineering. This body is the UK's leading independent advocate for science and engineering. It represents over 100 scientific organizations, including businesses, universities, professional bodies and research charities, as well as individual scientists and engineers.

She is a member of the Academia Europaea. The academy aims to promote European research, advise governments and international organizations in scientific matters, and further interdisciplinary and international research.
