Interest in metascience and AI for science has risen in the last year, with new ways of conducting and funding research growing across the UK, US, and beyond. Skeptics say we’ve had decades of metascience thinkers but repeatedly hear about innovation and technologies being held back.
So what’s new? And what works? Join BuildsBio, Renphil, UCL & Science Works to explore some of the foundational challenges with metascience & the opportunities ahead as we optimise research productivity.

Join our self-guided workshop, where attendees can respond to prompts inspired by the evolving landscape of metascience, AI-driven research, and new funding models.
With curated guidance, this session encourages you to translate your complex scientific questions into art- no experience required, just curiosity and imagination!
Introductions from Venture Café and BuildsBio+.
Join our panel to discuss the future of metascience, what we can learn on both sides of the Atlantic & what new funding models can do for UK science
