How to Collaborate

Foresight Institute supports the beneficial development of science and technology development that is undervalued by legacy institutions.

To do this, we run seminars to drive core technologies, experiment with new funding mechanisms, and grow an interdisciplinary community.

In 2021, we hit 10K Youtube subscribers, doubled the size of our technical groups and fellowship applications, accepted three accelerator projects for additional support, and had several interdisciplinary community meetings around the world.

Below you’ll see 2021 progress, and a wishlist you can select from to indicate your goals for Foresight in 2022.

Each area has its individual Btc & Eth addresses and you can direct credit card donations to a specific area. You can also give other crypto coins, or contact us for individual arrangements and to let us know you donated. We can’t wait to welcome you into the community!

Undervalued science & tech

Interdisciplinary community

Interdisciplinary competitions: solving problems across domains

To facilitate interdisciplinary progress that is unincentivized in standard institutional settings, we hold annual technical competitions focused on the intersection of technologies, e.g. Atomic Precision for Longevity, Molecular Machines for Materials Science, Atomic Precision for Healing the Planet.
Your contribution helps sponsor a 2022 competition for leveraging molecular machines to develop new tools for longevity progress.

Experiments in incentivization

Biotechnology, molecular machines, computing Fellowships

Congratulations to our our 2021 fellows and accelerator winners advancing biotechnology, molecular machines, and computing for the benefit of life!
Applications for our 2022 fellow are oversubscribed. Your support allows us to increase the number of biotechnology, molecular machines and computing fellows we can support though travel stipends, mentorship, and professional exposure.

Early-stage prizes in rejuvenation, computer security, neurotechnology

Congratulations to our 2021 Feynman Prize winners Ken Houk, UCLA, and Anne-Sophie Duwez, University of Liege!
Since 1993, you’ve enabled Foresight to award the Feynman Prize to reward ambitious nanotechnology work. The mechanism works well: our 2007 awardee received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2016. Your contribution supports similar prizes to speed up early-stage work in rejuvenation, computer security, or brain computer interfaces.

LAB Gallery: collect art to fund early-stage science

Science, especially when early stage and interdisciplinary, faces two problems: 1. It’s hard to communicate. 2. Funding relies on complicated legacy institutions that take a big cut.
Foresight’s LAB gallery pairs artists and scientists to inspire interest in science through art. By collecting the NFT art piece, anyone can become a direct patron of a brilliant scientist. Your support funds monthly exhibitions of fundable science in biotechnology, molecular machines, neurotechnology, and computing.

Tech trees: finding and funding undervalued areas for progress

There are many areas in biotechnology, molecular machines, and neurotechnology that could benefit from support. For outside funding and talent it can be hard to to find out to help. To aid coordination, technology trees provide an overview of the field, existing work and open challenges.
Through our technical groups, we’ll generate biotechnology, molecular machines, and neurotechnology trees for each field. Long-term, these trees may integrate across domains. This longevity tech tree is a first prototype, this white paper explains how we’re expanding it, and this hackathon is for crowdsourcing and crowdfunding them. Your contribution helps us speed up the process.
