A great piece on the the work @ARIA_research + @Convergent_FROs are doing We believe that FROs can unlock entire fields. Our Activation Partnership aims to grow ARIA's spaces with new R&D orgs through a new "FRO Founder Residency" programme that's training FRO leaders in the UK
This June, we kicked off our first-ever UK FRO Founder Residency as an Activation Partner for the United Kingdom’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency (@ARIA_research ).
