New ARIA funding for Sheffield! 🚀
Dr. Charles Grellois and colleagues have secured £20k to launch an Innovator Circle on "Compositional Growth: The Algebra of Complex Neural Structures."

Highly ambitious, technical breakthroughs rarely arrive fully formed. They’re often born out of half-articulated thoughts – whispers in the university library, debates over lunch, or musings on the walk home.
Our Innovator Circles initiative was designed to support these environments: high-trust, self-organised technical peer groups where people can test ideas early, raise each other’s ambition, and pursue ideas that could underpin the next world-changing breakthroughs.
Find out more about cohort one.
