Renaissance Philanthropy

We’re excited to announce that Renaissance Philanthropy is partnering with the UK’s Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA)to grow the UK’s ecosystem of technical talent and frontier research. The Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) was launched in 2021 by the UK government to unlock scientific and technological breakthroughs that benefit everyone. Their work is deeply complementary with our mission at Renaissance Philanthropy to raise the collective ambition of scientists, innovators, and philanthropists. Here’s what we’ll be doing with them: 1/ Technical talent network: we’ll help ARIA build a network of UK-based technical talent to enhance the skills of early-career researchers and help entrepreneurial scientists launch new translational R&D organizations. 2/ Horizon Scanning Group: We’ll organize study groups of top scientists and technologists to identify new high-value opportunity spaces that ARIA and other agencies, philanthropists, and foundations can support. 3/ Accelerator for Research Programme Leaders: We’ll launch an accelerator to train incoming and potential ARPA PMs, drawing from a playbook of lessons learned from past programs at DARPA and other ARPAs. 4/ Funder Coalitions: Inspired by examples like a collaboration between multiple philanthropists and the UK Biobank, we’ll work to convene coalitions of philanthropists, foundations, and government agencies to increase the ambition of the UK’s R&D ecosystem and attract flexible and patient capital for scientists. 5/ Translation Strategies: We’ll develop coalitions of forward-looking civil society, industry, academia, government and philanthropic actors to increase the impact of ARIA’s “opportunity spaces.”  This means we’re growing our team in the UK and we’re excited to share more details about the amazing individuals that will be joining our team soon - stay tuned! We are all excited to collaborate with eight other Activation Partners including Convergent Research, Amodo Design, CIC (Cambridge Innovation Center), Cambridge University Health Partners, Fifty Years, Nucleate UK, Google, Google DeepMind, and Pillar VC Together, we can help supercharge UK research and innovation.   Learn more about our partnership with ARIA and how you can get involved here: https://lnkd.in/eJDcySWH
