We're launching a £3M funding call to test what AI Scientists – autonomous systems that conduct entire research workflows – can contribute to breakthrough research. Current capabilities show both promise and limitations, so we're funding experiments to learn what's real.

📢 We're currently hiring for a number of technical and functional roles: - 3 x Technical Specialists - Head of Data + Technology - Content + Brand Manager Check them out (+ get notified of new roles when they open) ↓

How can mathematics help us verify, understand, and control AI systems? Our Mathematics for Safe AI seed projects explore diverse, foundational approaches to AI safety – from the mathematics of agency to hardware-level verification. Learn more:

Can we engineer the innate immune system for durable, broad-spectrum protection against respiratory viruses? In Sustained Viral Resilience – backed by £46m – we’ll fund teams to create a new class of medicines + unlock adoption pathways. Apply by 10 Nov:

🇺🇳🌾🌍 Happy World Food Day! I'm delighted to be in Rome for @FAO's 80th Anniversary celebrations & World Food Forum. I'm also honoured to be speaking at The Future of Science, Technology and Innovation in Agrifood Systems session tomorrow morning:

We’re looking to fund short discovery projects to build community and dive into potential research directions for a programme and within our Trust Everything, Everywhere opportunity space, led by PD Alex Obadia. Find out more + apply by 12 November:

I’m extremely excited about @ARIA_research’s new exploratory funding call on AI Scientists. I think this is an area of huge opportunity for ARIA and the UK and could transform how we do and fund science…

Anyone excited for XGame?

We’re teaming up with @VentureCafeLond for Unlocking the Frontier: Understanding ARIA, an evening exploring the next frontiers in science and tech. Join us on Oct 30 to meet our team, dive into ARIA’s mission + discover future funding opportunities. https://t.co/GSbvOgTeGm

We'll fund 5-6 projects at up to £500K each over nine months: understanding where these systems excel, where they struggle, and what infrastructure they need to work. Apply here:

This Friday, we’ll launch our £46m Sustained Viral Resilience programme. We’ll fund teams in synbio, immunology + AI to engineer the innate immune system for durable, broad-spectrum protection against respiratory viral threats. Read the thesis now: https://t.co/xtLl3ecdyp

Government-backed scientists are making implants from lab-grown brain cells that could one day replace damaged circuits in patients with Parkinson’s disease ⬇️

AI Scientists – autonomous systems that conduct entire research workflows – could fundamentally transform breakthrough research. Next Tuesday, we're launching a funding call to test what's actually possible. Stay tuned.

We’re looking to recruit a Technical Specialist with experience in hierarchical materials and reactor engineering to support Ivan and the programme he’s building in this space. Learn more + apply by 9 November:
