Schmidt Sciences is a philanthropic organization that accelerates scientific knowledge and breakthroughs to support a thriving world. Our team seeks out researchers pursuing early-stage, high-risk hypotheses that address everything from basic-science questions to pressing problems facing the planet. We sow the seeds of these ideas into what we believe to be the most fertile soil—a vibrant, interdisciplinary global community, equipped with the most advanced technology, where scientists can follow their curiosity—with the goal of nurturing new ways to conduct science and growing a forest of knowledge and solutions for the world. Founded in 2024, Schmidt Sciences brings together the science-focused efforts of Eric and Wendy Schmidt, whose philanthropy works toward a healthy, resilient, secure world for all. We prioritize research in five focus areas poised for revolutionary impact: AI and Advanced Computing, Astrophysics and Space, Biosciences, Climate, Science Systems
