Hybrid conference takes place April 20-22 at Stanford

Abstracts due Dec. 15, submit here

Abstracts are sought for the third annual Stanford Existential Risks Conference, which aims to take stock of global catastrophic and existential risk studies. Organizers invite submissions focused on the past, present, and future of this emerging field.  Papers might explore the fruits of existing approaches to existential risks, and/or address their weaknesses and blind spots. They might propose potential directions for the future of existential risk studies.

A special focus of this year’s meeting will be risk intersections, reinforcements, and cascades: how one risk may amplify (or diminish) another, and how multiple risks interact to create new concerns that may be larger than the sum of their parts.

To present research at this meeting, see the Call for Papers and link for abstract submissions (due December 15, 2022). Sign up for the mailing list to be notified when registration opens in Spring 2023.
