In The Journey of Humanity Oded Galor offers a revelatory explanation of how humanity became, only very recently, the unique species to have escaped a life of subsistence poverty, enjoying previously unthinkable wealth and longevity. He reveals why this process has been so unequal around the world, resulting in the great disparities between nations that exist today. He shows why so many of our efforts to improve lives have failed and how they might succeed.

Research can be hugely impactful, but almost all research isn't. One thing that can help maximize the impact of your research — including via improving your career trajectory — is developing an explicit theory of change. In this workshop, Michael provides an overview of what theories of change are, why they’re often useful for research, how to build one, and will provide an opportunity to practice applying these concepts. (It’s helpful, though not required, to watch the workshop with a research project idea in mind.)

A growing number of research organizations like IDinsight, IPA, J-PAL, and many local and regional research groups have found that long-term partnerships with governments lay a powerful foundation for generating highly policy relevant evidence; catalyzing adoption at scale of evidence-based interventions; and building government demand and interest in using evidence and data. A recent Center for Global Development (CGD) working group highlighted the importance of these partnerships—and robust funding to support them—to ensure that policymakers realize the full potential of research and evidence to improve lives and wellbeing. But limited flexible, long-term support holds them back. In this session, speakers discuss specific case studies that demonstrate the potential high returns on investments in evidence-to-policy partnerships.

Bioscience and biotechnology advances are vital for fighting disease, protecting the environment, and promoting economic development — and they hold incredible promise.

This session will begin with a talk by Dr. Jaime Yassif highlighting these issues and discussing effective strategies for improving bioscience governance and reducing emerging biorisks — including through the establishment of the International Biosecurity and Biosafety Initiative for Science (IBBIS). Jaspreet Pannu will then lead a discussion between Jaime Yassif and Dr. Beth Cameron.

If we want to 'do the most good' then two fundamental - but often overlooked - questions are 'What is good?' and 'How do we measure it'? Cost-effectiveness - both inside and outside effective altruism - is assessed in terms of health, wealth, intuitive judgements, or some mix of three. In this talk, Michael will explain why a simpler, better alternative is 'subjective wellbeing', using self-reports of happiness and life satisfaction, and share the latest research from the Happier Lives Institute showing how this could and should radically alter our ideas about how to do the most good, perhaps changing our focus from alleviating poverty to treating mental health. This talk aims to introduce people to some of the ideas underlying cause prioritisation and is most relevant for those interested in global health and wellbeing.
