What kinds of research ideas are best suited to a Focused Research Organization—and could yours be one of them? This hands-on workshop will introduce the FRO model, explore the kinds of ambitious scientific and technological challenges it can support, and help participants think through whether their own idea might be a fit. We’ll also share more about Convergent Research’s FRO Founder Residency and how it can help turn promising concepts into actionable plans. No fully formed FRO proposal is required—just a compelling research idea and curiosity about the model. Date: Thursday, October 29 Time: 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm - snacks provided Location: The Edinburgh Futures Institute, 1 Lauriston Pl, Edinburgh EH3 9EF, United Who should attend: This workshop is for scientists, engineers, founders, and other research innovators with an ambitious idea for addressing a significant scientific or technological bottleneck. It may be especially relevant if you’re exploring a large-scale, engineering-heavy project that doesn’t fit neatly within a university lab, conventional startup, or existing institution.
