Meridian Cambridge is an independent, non-profit research organisation that accelerates work on AI safety, biosecurity and other frontier-risk questions.

What we do
• Programmes & fellowships – cohort-based research sprints, reading groups and residencies that turn promising ideas into publishable papers, policy memos or venture prototypes.
• Targeted funding – micro-grants (£500–£10 k) and fiscal sponsorship so early-stage projects can move before traditional funders say yes.
• Advisory & talent pathways – one-to-one mentoring, career placement and introductions to partner labs, investors and policymakers.
• Events & knowledge exchange – seminars, workshops and public talks that link Cambridge researchers with the wider global risk-reduction community.
• Workspace – a 30-desk facility available to programme participants and resident researchers.

Focus areas
▸ AI alignment & governance ▸ Biosecurity & pandemic preparedness ▸ Long-term institutional design
