Collaborations & Partnerships

Working with organisations that share our conviction

The Responsible AI Center does not operate in isolation. Closing the human oversight gap in AI governance requires collaboration across disciplines — academic rigour, policy expertise, and operational experience. We actively seek partners who bring complementary capabilities and a shared commitment to evidence-based AI governance.

"The measurement of psychological readiness for AI oversight is not a single organisation's problem to solve. It requires the convergence of behavioural science, governance practice, and regulatory clarity. That convergence is what our partnerships are designed to accelerate."

— Mulya van Roon, Founder & Principal Advisor, The Responsible AI Center

Three Types of Partnership

How we work with partners

Each partnership type serves a distinct purpose in building the evidence base and practical reach of ALMA and The Responsible AI Center's broader mission.

Academic Collaboration

Research & Scholarly Validation

Universities, research institutes, and individual academics

ALMA's psychometric foundations are grounded in established behavioural science — psychological safety (Edmondson), growth mindset (Dweck), and automation bias (Parasuraman). Academic collaborators contribute peer-reviewed rigour to the instrument's development, validation, and ongoing refinement.

What this looks like

  • Co-authorship on governance and public policy journal papers
  • Psychometric validation studies and instrument refinement
  • Access to ALMA datasets for independent research (under data agreement)
  • Joint conference presentations and working papers
  • Advisory input on new ALMA dimensions and scoring methodology

Policy Body

Regulatory & Policy Engagement

Regulators, standards bodies, and public policy organisations

The EU AI Act creates a regulatory demand for measurement standards that do not yet exist. Policy partnerships allow The Responsible AI Center to contribute to the development of those standards — ensuring that the human oversight requirements of Articles 4, 14, and 26 are grounded in measurable, validated criteria rather than documentation checklists.

What this looks like

  • Consultation responses and technical input on AI oversight standards
  • Participation in regulatory working groups and expert panels
  • Contribution to guidance documents on AI literacy measurement
  • Pilot programmes with regulated organisations
  • Policy briefings on the state of human oversight capacity in European organisations

Current & Forthcoming

Policy body — to be announced
Standards organisation — to be announced

Partner Organisation

Implementation & Delivery Partners

Consultancies, law firms, and professional services organisations

Organisations already working with clients on AI governance, compliance, or risk management can integrate ALMA into their existing service offerings. Partner organisations gain access to a validated diagnostic instrument that adds measurable depth to their client engagements — and a clear differentiator in a market of generic maturity assessments.

What this looks like

  • Licensed use of ALMA within client engagements
  • Joint go-to-market for EU AI Act compliance programmes
  • Referral arrangements for clients requiring specialist human oversight advisory
  • Co-branded thought leadership and event participation
  • Access to ALMA training and certification for partner practitioners

Why Partner With Us

What partners gain

Partnerships with The Responsible AI Center are built on mutual value — not one-sided endorsement arrangements.

01

Access to a validated instrument

ALMA is the only psychometrically grounded diagnostic for human oversight capacity in AI governance. Partners gain access to an instrument that no competitor currently offers.

02

Regulatory relevance

The EU AI Act's human oversight requirements create a durable demand for what ALMA measures. Partners aligned with this agenda are positioned ahead of the regulatory curve.

03

Scholarly credibility

ALMA's foundations in established behavioural science — and the academic papers in development — give partners a credible evidence base to present to clients and regulators.

04

A founder-led relationship

Partnerships with The Responsible AI Center are direct relationships with Mulya van Roon. There is no account management layer. Decisions are made quickly and commitments are kept.
