ERSILIA OPEN SOURCE INITIATIVE

We develop, disseminate and deploy artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to support scientific research in underserved countries, and help them tackle their most pressing health needs. We adhere to the Open Science principles and are focused on developing in-country digital infrastructure and skills to empower scientists in traditionally neglected areas.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
