New products to accelerate science and translate it into the real world @ARIA_research. Prev. @join_polaris, @NucleateHQ & @MRC_LMB
Thrilled to announce ARIA Activation Partners! This new initiative is built to be additive & catalytic in supercharging deeptech translation. Can’t wait for the translational impact the partners will create in ARIA’s spaces + the broader UK science entrepreneurship ecosystem🚀
We’re excited to introduce a series of new R&D partnerships designed to drive maximum impact in the research areas we’re exploring. Our Activation Partners are pioneers of new science innovation models, community builders, world-leading research labs, deep-tech focused…
Programme Directors @virushunter and @Angie_C_Burnett are pushing the boundaries of biology to transform society. For our latest Substack, they sat down with Product Manager @Pranay_Shahh to share how advances in synthetic bio are equipping us to deliver real-world impact. 👇…
⏰ Final call for the Big if True Science Accelerator - a 15-week program with @ARIA_research to design £50-100M scale research programs. Apply now: bit.ly/3ZAm4Ww
💭 What would you do if you had £50-100M to advance our civilisation's technological and scientific capabilities, without having to think about social returns for investors or academic citations? Applications to the Big if True Science Accelerator (BiTS) now open👇
Some massive shoes to fill but a phenomenal opportunity to drive truly global change as Ilan’s shown in the last 2 years 💥 Thank you for the incredible leadership and drive in creating one of the best things to happen to scientific R&D
Big news: we’re kicking off the search for ARIA’s next CEO. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lead one of the most ambitious orgs in science and tech. 1/8
New @RenPhil21 programme with @ARIA_research to provide ambitious individuals the freedom to pursue and test their biggest scientific ideas that are too risky or bold for others to support 💥 Learn more and apply below 👇👇
🚨Calling all UK scientists & innovators! 🚨 Today we are launching Ember, a new programme powered by our partnership with @ARIA_research. We're seeking exceptional UK scientists and innovators turning "Big If True" ideas into fundable, actionable translation R&D projects…
We hosted the @ARIA_research Summit this week, so it seems a good time to reflect on the progress we've made over the last two years... 1/ ARIA is taking a new approach to funding breakthrough R&D to catalyse new trillion-pound industries anchored in the UK 🇬🇧 - a thread...
It's such a pleasure getting to work with @RenPhil21. As the thread shows, they're a truly phenomenal team both in ideas and execution
1/ One year ago, we launched Renaissance Philanthropy to fuel a 21st century Renaissance by increasing the ambition of philanthropists, scientists, and innovators. Today, we’re proud to share our first annual report. Here’s what we’ve been building 🧵 🔗 renaissancephilanthropy.org/annual-report-…
We’re making the @BasisOrg organisation document public today. It’s less a charter and more a design doc—our spec for why a new kind of technology and research organisation is needed, and how to build it. (link below)
Great question! I have been encouraging philanthropists to support datasets, although we often need rapid iteration between computational and experimental researchers. See below for examples but I have a stack of unfunded and partially funded proposals – DM me if interested.
What are some data sets that don't exist (or don't exist publicly) that would accelerate technological progress?
🚨LAST CHANCE: Encode AI for Science Fellowship closes TOMORROW! When we launched this, I didn't know what to expect. Already from the people we've already met, I am confident that 2+ of the best novel projects in AI for Science this year will come from Encode Fellows.
🚀 Fellowship applications are OPEN for Encode: AI for Science. What if you could use AI to - Design shape-shifting robots - See through solid materials - Decode language of the brain - Create advanced materials
1 week to go 🚀 Spend one year embedded in top science labs across the UK, working on ARIA's opportunity spaces and other exciting research areas – apply for @pillar_vc's Encode AI for Science Fellowship by 30 April: encode.pillar.vc/apply
absolutely love this. if you are an ambitious technologist or scientist looking for important problems to work on, this should be your first port of call! (+ lots of intersection with things we are doing at ARIA)
We (mostly @AdamMarblestone and Mary with the help of the amazing scientists in our network) made a map of “fundamental development” gaps in science and technology. Go explore gap-map.org.
culture is upstream of agency so I'm extremely excited to announce our next @txp_io event on 30th April, hosted at @wayve_ai, showcasing the emerging UK Progress Idea Machine, ft: - @Kitty_Mayo_ @ProjectEurope_ - @Pranay_Shahh @ARIA_research - @jujulemons @BritishProgress -…
Renaissance Philanthropy is launching Big if True Science (BiTS) Accelerator—an accelerator to train scientists & researchers in designing and executing bold, field-changing coordinated research programs. Powered by Renaissance Philanthropy’s partnership with @ARIA_research, BiTS…
It's been such a pleasure collaborating on this with the immense @RenPhil21 team in the UK🇬🇧 Their initiatives are game changers for ambitious UK talent🚀I highly encourage scientists who want to increase their ambition or translate their work to keep an eye out for these!
NEW: Renaissance Philanthropy is excited to share more about the amazing team we have assembled to support our UK Horizons Program. Last October, we announced our partnership with @ARIA_research focused on supercharging the UK’s R&D ecosystem. We’ve been busy over the past six…
The team is very excited to see all the proposals for UK Focused Research Organizations! We've partnered with @ARIA_research to seek proposals for FROs that could unlock transformative progress in ARIA’s opportunity spaces: convergentresearch.org/frost-uk Apply by Friday March 28!
Seriously awesome AI fellowship to accelerate scientific discovery launched in the UK by @pillar_vc with @ARIA_research - can’t wait to see the outcomes they’ll drive! Check out the thread by Tony to learn more on how to get involved and apply👇
Announcing Encode: AI for Science We're launching a fellowship powered by @ARIA_research to connect top AI talent with leading UK science labs to unlock the next wave of scientific breakthroughs.
