Public research funder supporting distinct safety-research and network-building activities

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)

UK Research and Innovation is the public research-funding body acknowledged in two separate routes in this corpus: support for the REPHRAIN centre and funding of a pilot preceding UNESCO's civil-society and academic AI network. The records describe institutional support at different programme levels.

Two funding acknowledgments

The December 2024 CSEA principles report identifies UKRI support for REPHRAIN as a three-year Centre of Research Excellence. UNESCO's network history credits UKRI with an earlier pilot before the June 2025 network launch. Neither retained passage gives a project-specific amount, payment schedule or publication-approval terms, and the pilot acknowledgment does not establish Global Call campaign funding.
