Community & Field Hubs

Programmes that convene people and resources around frontier‑risk themes beyond Meridian’s core labs.

Our hubs run ­events, reading groups, policy sprints and micro‑grants that grow the wider ecosystem. They’re lighter‑weight than our research labs—open to anyone who’s serious about advancing AI safety, biosecurity or long‑term governance questions.
