Launching this autumn, propel scientific discovery
Accelerate science.
Transform the world we live in.
Every day, researchers push the boundaries of scientific knowledge to address the challenges of our time. Boost them in this vital work by funding the research projects that mean the most to you.
Over our lifetimes, few of us will be untouched by the world’s major diseases, whether as sufferers or as families. Help find cures for the diseases that afflict the lives of millions: support advances in healthcare and contribute to the fight against diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, dementia and multiple sclerosis.
Help researchers explore climate impacts and discover innovative technologies to mitigate the effects. As our world approaches a critical turning point, never has there been a more pressing need for innovative technologies to prevent and mitigate the impact of global warming. Build a sustainable future for all by supporting research into the most pressing issues for our climate and environment: boost scientific discovery in areas such as cleaner energy, the de-pollution of our oceans, and reducing the carbon impact of the way that we eat, shop and travel.
Computational power is essential to the scientific discovery process. Advances in areas such as quantum computing help underpin research in climate science and healthcare, and reduce the time taken to process their complex calculations and models. Help support research into the advancement of the power of computing, to the benefit of all fields of science.
Science Card partners with the UK’s leading universities to source high-impact research projects - ones that will bring significant benefits to the health and well-being of society world-wide.
For the first time ever, you have the opportunity to contribute directly to these high-impact research projects simply through your everyday spending, and help build the sustainable future you would want.
By funding research projects on the Science Card app, you can play an active part in today’s ground-breaking innovations.
Some of the world-changing projects we’re funding
Change the way scientific research is funded
You decide the shape of all our futures
Choose the projects that mean the most to you, and by contributing to them (and coming soon, voting on them) you accelerate their development - meaning that the research into the areas that are most important to you, gets done.
The research is the first, most essential stage towards mass adoption - without scientific research, the discoveries that we all now rely on would be unable to take place. And with your support, they take place sooner.

Frequently asked questions
How does Science Card accelerate science through spending?
Science Card allows you to explore scientific research projects in the fields of climate change, healthcare and quantum computing. You can make financial contributions to the projects of your choice by rounding up your payments whenever you spend, or by contributing directly to a project - and Science Card also contributes 10% of its profits to its sourced research projects.
Once a project has reached its funding target, the funds are directed to the project’s institution, enabling the research to start without delay.
Science Card customers are able to follow the progress of the research projects in the Science Card app as the project receives funding from their contributions, and the project itself gets underway.
How can I contribute to specific research projects?
With Science Card, you can explore various research projects and choose the ones you want to support. You can make financial contributions to the projects of your choice by rounding up your payments whenever you spend, or by contributing directly to a project - and Science Card also contributes 10% of its profits to its sourced research projects. Your financial contributions will make a real impact on these projects.
How does Science Card ensure transparency in research funding?
At Science Card, we prioritise the thorough assessment of our science projects, evaluating both their scientific validity and ethical implications. These Projects undergo rigorous screening to ensure their feasibility and relevance, while our Ethics Review Board ensures alignment with ethical standards.
