Bradley Clark Royes
Ecosystem designer working at the seams of AI, cognitive science, and field-building. Since 2025: AI Node Manager, Berlin, Foresight Institute, leading the Berlin node on AI for Science & Safety.
Berlin. Systemic design, convening, programmes, and coordination.
Writing
Notes I use to think in public: strategy, cognition, AI, embodiment, and the strange edges between them.
About
A few lines on what I do — and where it shows up IRL.
I've worked alongside founders, teams, and institutions on ambitious science-and-technology work—programmes, convenings, and the coordination layer that keeps complex efforts coherent. Since 2025 that's been full-time at Foresight Institute: AI Node Manager, Berlin, leading the node on AI for Science & Safety.
Earlier stretches included ICPR (OPEN Foundation), INSIGHT (MIND Foundation), and Berlin-based spaces like MOOS.
I care about taste, clarity, and incentives. I've also worked with PsychedeliCare.eu, Cyberdelic Nexus, KOMMA, and AIbuilders.club (Berlin).

Voices
A few notes from people I have worked with across science, culture, and public-interest advocacy.
“It has been a pleasure to work side by side with Bradley at INSIGHT 2021, as well as in the months before the conference. By managing all INSIGHT volunteers and contributing his problem-solving skills wherever needed, he played a major role in the conference's success.”
Patrick W.Conference Manager, INSIGHT · MIND Foundation “Bradley is characterized by reliability, utmost care and proactiveness. In addition, he has a very high work ethic, which he demonstrated at all times by taking on extra or other work, including difficult work that he was not trained in before.”
