One of our Activation Partners, @pillar_vc, is hosting an AI x Science meet-up to kick off our partnership 💥 📅Tuesday 5 November, 6 – 8:30pm 📍London Join leaders in AI, science and deep tech: lu.ma/UKevent

Current mechanisms for training AI systems utilise a narrow set of algorithms/hardware building blocks and require significant capital to develop + produce. In Scaling Compute, we’re funding 12 teams of Creators in an effort to reduce the cost of AI hardware by >1000x ↓ (1/2)

Introducing the first opportunity seed Creators in Scoping Our Planet 📣🌏 Designed to open up new research paths, seeds are small but powerful mechanisms to empower ambitious researchers to pursue scientific discoveries that might otherwise fall through the cracks. (1/4)

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 accelerators – united in their commitment to turning early-stage R&D into real-world solutions. By delivering bespoke activities across current and emerging opportunity spaces, we believe our new partners can help foster a culture of innovation that propels our research – and the UK – towards massive social and economic impact. @Convergent_FROs @GoogleDeepMind @pillar_vc @RenPhil21 @fiftyyears @CUHPartners @cicnow @NucleateUK

What’s your most ambitious vision for changing the world? Our next cohort of Programme Directors will answer this question when they join, so we asked our current team for their ideas. Find the full list here: link.aria.org.uk/request-for… (1/2)

The search for our next cohort of PDs has taken us across the UK and beyond. From Sheffield to Sweden, Bristol to Boston, we’ve connected with research orgs, VCs, and academic institutions to share more about our funding opportunities + what we’re looking for in future PDs. Here are four key points we shared on the road: 🧵(1/6)
