Oxford Workshops on Global Priorities Research
Oxford Workshops on Global Priorities Research usually take place twice a year, bringing together academics from around the world on topics related to GPI's research agenda.
Oxford Global Priorities Fellowship (previously the ECCP)
The Oxford Global Priorities Fellowship is a combination of the former Forethought Foundation Global Priorities Fellowship and the Early Career Conference Programme (ECCP). It exists to create a community of early-career researchers interested in global priorities research and to support their career development. Fellows participate in a four-week in-person programme in Oxford and receive a stipend from the Forethought Foundation.
Scholarships
GPI administers the Parfit Scholarship to support Oxford DPhil students in philosophy, and the Atkinson Scholarship to support Oxford DPhil and (occasionally) MPhil students in economics. The Parfit and Atkinson Scholarships have been awarded from 2019 to 2023.

Past research visitors
Joseph Carlsmith
"I learned a lot during my time in Oxford. It was a great environment for research, the feedback I received on my work was excellent, and I really enjoyed getting to know the other fellows and researchers."
Dina Sinclair
“The Global Priorities Institute is a wonderful group to work with. Everyone is on the same page, connecting academia to causes that matter and crossing disciplinary boundaries to get things done. The community is incredibly welcoming, I learned a ton from the other visitors and researchers in the office!”
Dr Stefan Riedener
"My stay at the GPI has been fantastic for me. Really, I've been more productive during my visit than I had been in a very long time. And I've made more progress during the countless hours of conversations I had than I would have made in weeks or months of lonely thinking."
