Notes
[Global Catastrophic Risks Capacity Building] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $47,000 over two years to the University of Edinburgh to support work, led by Matti Wilks, to develop a course about how psychology can help to address the world’s most pressing problems. We sought applications for this funding to support the development of courses on a range of topics that are relevant to certain areas of Open Philanthropy’s grantmaking. This falls within our focus area of growing and empowering the community of people focused on global catastrophic risk reduction.
