Delegates discussed the priorities for ARIA’s organisation, funding, and mission - including what is needed to translate its work into beneficial products and capabilities, as well as issues around accountability and oversight.
The conference also provided an opportunity to examine wider questions, including ARIA’s place within the UK research landscape and around its interaction with existing research bodies.
The discussion took place with the ARIA Bill awaiting Royal Assent, and the appointment of its first CEO, as well as the confirmation of £800m in funding in the Spending Review.
