Partner With Us

Universities, NGOs, and government bodies propose joint work with HCI here — research partnerships, training collaborations, policy work, and funding relationships. This is a different conversation from an individual volunteering, so it gets its own form.

HCI is a young, growing organisation. We take institutional proposals seriously and read every one personally, but we don’t yet have a large partnerships staff or a formal review board — expect a direct reply from our founders, not a committee process.

Ways to collaborate

Research Partnership

Joint work on Digital DNA, AI ethics methodology, or related research questions — co-authorship, shared data work, or a formal research agreement between your institution and HCI.

Curriculum & Training

Bringing HCI’s AI ethics and governance material into a course, workshop, or training program, or co-developing new curriculum with your faculty or staff.

Policy & Government Partnership

Technical assistance, frameworks, or advisory support for a government body or public agency working on AI governance — connects with our AI for Developing Governments initiative.

Funding & Grants

Foundations, agencies, or institutional funders interested in supporting a specific HCI project or proposing a joint grant application.

Other

Something that doesn’t fit the categories above — tell us what you have in mind in the form below and we’ll figure out where it fits.

What to include in your proposal

Collaboration type — which of the categories above (or “Other”) best describes what you’re proposing.
Public-benefit objective — what public benefit this collaboration would advance. HCI is a nonprofit institute; every partnership needs a clear answer here.
What you’re requesting from HCI — the specific involvement, resources, or review you’re hoping we can provide, so we can tell quickly whether it’s something we’re positioned to do.

Submit a proposal

Fill out the form below and it goes straight to our founders. We reply to every proposal by email — there’s no fixed response-time guarantee yet given HCI’s size, but nothing submitted here goes unanswered.

How it works

Submit the proposal form above with your organisation, collaboration type, and what you’re requesting.
HCI’s founders review it personally against the public-benefit objective you’ve described — there’s no automated screening or standing partnerships committee yet.
You’ll hear back directly by email, whether the answer is yes, no, or a request for more detail.

This form only asks for what’s needed to evaluate your proposal — no identity documents or payment details. If you’d rather not use a public form, email contact@human-continuity.org directly, and you can ask at any time to correct, withdraw, or delete a submission.

Looking to get involved as an individual instead? Volunteer research, ethics review, content contribution, and general membership all have their own pathways on the Get Involved page.
