Nature Computes Better was one of ARIA's original opportunity spaces. Following an evolution of our research portfolio in August 2026, it now sits within the Nature-Inspired Computation opportunity space. The beliefs and observations that defined Nature Computes Better still hold, and its remit continues in full within Nature-Inspired Computation with respect to both future programmes and seed funding. No active funding was affected by this change.
