"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."

“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!”

"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."
