From new approaches to doctoral training, to venture creation models like Deep Science Ventures, to Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA)‘s bold Programme Director model, the focus was on creating environments whereย ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฏ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ผ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น-๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐น๐ฑ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐.
It was also great to see such a strong mix of researchers, founders, innovators and venture-minded people in the room.
Thanks Carlos Navarrete-Llamas for the invitation and to the Nucleate Spain, Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA), and ATG SynBio Spain teams for organizing such a forward-thinking event.
It was also a pleasure to meet Alice Pettitt, Anna Bandura, Lourdes Arena in person, and to learn from the great perspectives shared by Daniela Pamias Lopez and Eimear Byrne on hashtagaging-related challenges and opportunities, alongside Brian Wang‘s insights into ARIA’s model for supporting frontier research.
