2024 GCRI Fellowship Program

17 December 2024

GCRI is pleased to announce the 2024 Fellowship Program. The GCRI Fellowship Program aims to highlight exceptional collaborators GCRI had the opportunity to partner with over the course of the year.

This year, we have three Fellows. One of them is collaborating with GCRI on projects focused on international peace and East Asia. One is collaborating on connections with the insurance industry and undergraduate education. And, one is collaborating on the field of global catastrophic risk in Africa.

Congratulations to our 2024 GCRI Fellows.
