Oxford Global Priorities Fellowship

"The ECCP was a great opportunity to meet others working on the same topics as me. I also really enjoyed the social activities such as punting and dinners."

"The ECCP provided a supportive environment that fast-tracked my research, expanded my understanding of global priorities issues, and encouraged collaboration with other early-career researchers. I highly recommend the program to any early-career academics interested in global priorities issues."

"Participating in the ECCP was one of the best experiences I have had during my PhD. I received excellent mentorship during the program, and as a result, am planning to turn my ECCP project into one of my dissertation papers. I also really enjoyed getting to know the other participants, and found that the interdisciplinary nature of the program facilitated interesting and productive conversations. I would strongly recommend the ECCP to anyone interested in global priorities research."

"Bringing enthusiastic, committed, and visionary researchers together, the Programme provides a fantastic hub for sharing research, giving and receiving feedback, and laying the foundations of new projects. The Programme fosters openness, experimentality, and non-hierarchical collaboration."

"ECCP 2021 was a fantastic opportunity to explore new research topics in a stimulating atmosphere. I found the conversations with fellow participants and GPI staff extremely valuable and inspiring. I have no doubts that participating in ECCP 2021 will benefit my research trajectory in the years to come."

"The ECCP introduced me to research ideas and collaborators that continue to drive my agenda over two years later. The program was a turning point in my career as a grad student and helped me to see how I could get traction on the world's most pressing problems using the tools of economics."

"My interactions with GPI - the Early Career Conference Programme, in particular - has led to many productive friendships. As an early career academic, building this network of colleagues interested in global priorities research has been invaluable. In fact, my most exciting new project is a collaboration sparked by conversations about the Atkinson lecture!"

"ECCP was a unique opportunity to interact with brilliant people, in an inspiring, creative and supportive environment. The dialogue between the two groups, Philosophy and Economics, was vibrant and exciting."

"The ECCP program provided me with the opportunity to meet other like minded PhD students and researchers, who wanted to do the most good with their research. The program not only inspired my own research program, but also led to a number of collaborations. The plethora of events put on by GPI and the University of Oxford made this both an intellectually engaging and socially enjoyable experience. I would do it again."

"The ECCP program helped inspire a big part of my PhD, including my job market paper. I came up with the idea for my paper on long-term effect estimation using surrogate outcomes while reading research ideas and research summaries written by GPI researchers, and receiving regular, high-quality feedback at the weekly meetings allowed me to make quick progress on the project. There was an awesome cohort of visitors in both philosophy and economics and I made some great lifelong friends."
