GCRI is delighted to announce the formation of a new Fellowship Program and the members of the inaugural 2021 GCRI Fellowship class. The Fellowship Program recognizes a select group of 12 individuals who have made exceptional contributions to addressing global catastrophic risk in collaboration with GCRI during the year 2021.
The 2021 GCRI Fellows range from undergraduates to senior professionals and hail from seven countries around the world. Their contributions include research across a diverse range of disciplines, policy outreach, program development, and more. We at GCRI can attest to the excellent quality of the Fellows’ contributions. We are confident that they will continue to do excellent work on global catastrophic risk during 2022 and beyond, whether via continued collaboration with GCRI or via other activities.
The 2021 GCRI Fellows Program is a recognition of the excellent contributions of select GCRI collaborators. Fellows were selected based on the extent of their collaborations during 2021 and the quality of their work. We at GCRI decided to create the Fellowship Program because we were impressed by the people collaborating with us this year and wanted to formally recognize them. Because we developed the idea for the Fellowship Program late in the year, we did not announce the Program or issue a call for participants at the beginning of the year. We anticipate making an announcement, call for participants, or similar statement at the beginning of future years.
The new Fellowship Program is part of GCRI’s commitment to supporting the development of the field of global catastrophic risk. Another major GCRI field-building activity is our Advising and Collaboration Program, which features an open invitation for people to reach out to GCRI to get more involved. Indeed, the 2021 Fellows mostly connected with GCRI initially via our 2021 Advising and Collaboration Program. We at GCRI have been privileged to interact with many very talented students, researchers, and professionals.
Congratulations to our 2021 GCRI Fellows.
