About this workshop

The Open Student Workshop on Global Priorities Research aims to help students from traditionally underrepresented groups learn about global priorities research, develop their research ideas, and equip them with the information and networks needed to succeed as global priorities researchers.

Participants in this four-day workshop will attend the 12th Oxford Workshop on Global Priorities Research (19-20 June 2023), an interdisciplinary workshop organised by the Global Priorities Institute. They will also receive personalised 1:1 career- and research-coaching from GPI staff members and other members of the global priorities research community; attend presentations and discussions on global priorities research, career planning and experiences in academic research; and participate in networking and social events.

The cost of (domestic or international) travel and accommodation in Oxford, UK will be fully covered for all participants and meals will be provided.* Costs for visa applications will also be covered for participants requiring a visa to enter the UK.

Workshop location and dates

Sunday 18 June till Wednesday 21 June 2023, Oxford, UK.

Eligibility

We invite applications from members of a range of traditionally underrepresented groups in global priorities research. This includes (but is not limited to) people of colour, people who identify as female, first-generation students, members of economically disadvantaged communities, people from the Global South, people with disabilities, and trans, gender-diverse and non-binary people.

Many of our applicants will be graduate students in economics or philosophy. We are open to applications from exceptional late-stage undergraduates as well as from recent PhD recipients. We are also open to applications from a variety of other disciplinary backgrounds provided there is sufficient capacity at GPI to advise on research in these fields.

Application

Applications are now closed.

Decisions on admission will be made based on academic merit and potential, as well as membership in underrepresented groups.
