What does it take to fund and build ambitious science that doesn’t fit neatly into existing models?

Join our fellow ARIA activation partner Convergent Research at Venture Café Manchester for an evening exploring new ways to fund and organise ambitious science and technology – and where Focused Research Organisations (FROs) could fit within the UK’s evolving innovation landscape.

Whether you already work at the edge of science and innovation or are simply curious about how we might fund and organise ambitious research differently, come along, meet others working across the ecosystem and join the conversation.

No prior knowledge of FROs is needed – everyone interested in the future of science and innovation is welcome!
