To what extent your work depends in your own staff vs. the academic EA infraestructure?
There are organizations as “Effective Thesis” that try to re-direct academic resources for EA research. Do you have any relation with those organizations? Is there any way for external collaboration with your organization? Could you elaborate your vision of how “in house” and “external research” shall be optimally combined in Rethink Priorities?
Rethink Priorities does collaborate with academic institutions, mainly through hiring academics as contractors to either do novel research and/or to review our work. My sense is that these academics we work with are not unusually likely to be EA-affiliated though and I wouldn’t say we use any EA-specific academic infrastructure.
Dear Mr. Wildeford,
To what extent your work depends in your own staff vs. the academic EA infraestructure?

Thank you very much for you excellent work.
Kind regards,
Arturo
