Priority is given to contestants registered for our Trust Everything, Everywhere Hackathon on 7-8th March. — SoTA (the Society for Technological Advancement) is the cross-disciplinary community for Britain's most promising scientists, engineers and technologists. We identify and aggregate exceptional talent early in their trajectories, and cultivate optimism about technoscientific progress. ARIA (the Advanced Research + Invention Agency) is an R&D funding agency created to unlock technological breakthroughs that benefit everyone. Created by an Act of Parliament, and sponsored by the Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology, we fund teams of scientists and engineers to pursue research at the edge of what is scientifically and technologically possible. Frontiers Nights: The best way to predict is to create, and we need more exceptional talent creating futures they want to see. SoTA's Frontiers Nights aim to showcase some of this promising work, inspire optimism, and encourage action. Frontiers Nights feature technologists advancing the state of the art across domains and themes. We have live demos, lightning talks and active audience engagement, bringing together scientists, engineers, technologists, founders, funders and policymakers who are optimistic about our shared future.
