About:
In March 2021, UK government issued a policy statement with the rationale and intended purpose for the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA)
The government has set out an ambition to cement the UK’s position as a science superpower with a series of new commitments. The creation of ARIA will complement the work of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and build on the government’s R&D Roadmap published in July 2020
ARIA is intended to diversify the current public R&D portfolio in a way which will place the UK at the epicentre of a new generation of transformational technologies. “ARIA will be key to establishing a competitive advantage for the UK as a global science superpower, creating meaningful jobs and economic growth for generations to come.”
The Council for the Mathematical Sciences CMS, in conjunction with the Virtual Forum for Knowledge Exchange in Mathematical Sciences V-KEMS organised a series of events to enable the UK Mathematical Sciences to find out more about the ARIA concept, how to get involved, shape and influence future programmes.
Event 1 was held on 28 March 2022.
Event 2 was held on 06 May 2022.
Event 3 was held in autumn 2022.
Past Events:
Engaging mathematical sciences with grand challenges and government policy
Experiences of DARPA-esque programmes
The organising committee invited a number of participants who have experience of DARPA-style programmes.
Panellists included
- Ronni Bowman (DSTL)
- Marina Knight (York)
- Tim Lenton (Exeter)
- Robert MacKay (Warwick) - Chair
- Richard O’Neill (ARPA-E)
- Jared Tanner (Oxford)
