Notes
[Biosecurity & Pandemic Preparedness] Open Philanthropy recommended two grants totaling $165,000 to Longview Philanthropy (a project of Effective Ventures Foundation UK) to support an event, hosted by Kevin Esvelt and David Sliney, on far-UVC technology. This event will bring together several dozen experts to create and promote a research agenda to investigate whether far-UVC light can be used to safely reduce indoor pathogen transmission. This follows our November 2022 support for a similar but smaller event in late 2022, and falls within our focus area of biosecurity and pandemic preparedness.
