Support us

Support us in strengthening the international governance of frontier AI.

As AI capabilities rapidly advance, the need for coordinated international action is becoming increasingly urgent. We’re working to build the foundations for effective governance, and every donation directly helps support this work.

Our plans and funding needs

We could effectively leverage an additional CHF 3.5-6.5 million through the end of 2026. Our current plans involve:

  • Hosting targeted workshops and fellowships for diplomats and civil servants from different countries to foster shared understanding of frontier AI risks and governance solutions; 
  • Supporting the development of international institutions and dialogue platforms for AI governance through research and policy advice;
  • Collaborating with technical AI governance communities to improve their contributions to international processes.

Much of our most impactful work happens behind closed doors with key decision-makers. If you’d like to learn more about our work, impact, or plans, our co-founder, Konrad, would be happy to speak with you. You can reach him at konrad@simoninstitute.ch.
