About this workshop

The Open Student Workshop on Global Priorities Research (OSW-GPR) 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 10th Oxford Workshop on Global Priorities Research (27-28 June 2022), an interdisciplinary workshop on global priorities research 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 receive networking and social opportunities throughout.

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 that require a visa to enter the UK.

Workshop location and dates

Sunday 26 June till Wednesday 29 June 2022. Oxford, UK.

Eligibility

We invite applications from members of a range of traditionally underrepresented groups in global priorities research, to include (but not limited to) people who identify as female, students of colour, first-generation students, LGBTQIA+ students, members of economically disadvantaged communities, people from the Global South, and people with disabilities.

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 the Global Priorities Institute to support and advise research in these fields.

The workshop is being financially supported by the Centre for Effective Altruism.

Application

You can apply by filling out this form by 20 April 2022 (midnight UK time). Applications will require a CV, academic transcript (unofficial or official), writing sample, and the contact details for an academic reference.
