"The UK government has released more information about its plans to launch an independent research agency that will focus on funding high-risk, high-reward science. The agency is modelled on the United States’ Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which helped to develop pioneering technologies such as the Internet and GPS.
On 19 February, the UK government said that the new body — to be called the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) — will free scientists from the checks and balances of the conventional grant system so that research can be funded quickly and flexibly. It says ARIA will be led by “visionary researchers” who will “identify and back the most ambitious, cutting-edge areas of research and technology”. The agency will be exempt from ‘freedom-of-information’ rules, and will trial different mechanisms for allocating funding, such as programme grants, seed funding and prize incentives." [1]
Ladies and gentlemen, let us release those desperate conscripts summoned by not the most intelligent women who have recently sat in the Lithuanian government, and let us allocate to the Lithuanian DARPA part of the billion euros a year that we are spending for Lithuania's defense? We need to break out of talented people's emigration, low wages and the associated poverty. This requires raising our technological level. Otherwise, no defense will help us.
