Last week, we kicked off the Renaissance Philanthropy Horizon Scanning Study Group, powered by ARIA and Metaculus. We convened 30 scientists from around the world to predict the future - mapping out future technologies, forecasting on future hinge points and thinking about possible high-return program areas. We had an incredible group of scientists - spanning many disciplines, career stages, and industries - and were lucky enough to be joined by many ARIA program directors and team members. We also had some truly epic karaoke - Dr Jacqueline Campbell described the event as "the best day of her life". Extremely excited to continue our work over the next nine months!
