BERI has received grants in support of two of our trial collaborations:

  1. A $252,000 grant from the Future of Life Institute through the Survival and Flourishing Fund to support our collaboration with the Oxford China Policy Lab (OCPL) at the University of Oxford. We originally launched a trial collaboration with OCPL in 2022.
  2. A $52,000 grant from Jaan Tallinn through the Survival and Flourishing Fund in support of our collaboration with the Safe Robotics Laboratory (SRL) at the University of Princeton. We originally launched a trial collaboration with SRL in 2021.

With these donations we’re converting these trial collaborations into main collaborations.

We are truly thankful to have donors like these to support our work and mission. We’re also thankful for groups like OCPL and SRL, with the vision and ambition to work towards a long future of survival and flourishing for human civilization. BERI is proud to support their work.

These are the second and third instances of BERI converting trial collaborations into main collaborations in 2023; we believe these donations provide evidence for the strength of the trial collaborations approach. For more information on trial collaborations, see this post.
