The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk
Cambridge University
Safeguarding our passage through the 21st Century
The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk is an interdisciplinary research centre focused on the study of risks threatening human extinction that may emerge from technological advances. CSER aims to combine key insights from the best minds across disciplines to tackle the greatest challenge of the coming century: safely harnessing our rapidly-developing technological power.
An existential risk is one that threatens the existence of our entire species. The Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) — a joint initiative between philosopher Huw Price, cosmologist Martin Rees, and software entrepreneur Jaan Tallinn — was founded on the conviction that these risks require a great deal more scientific investigation than they presently receive. The Centre’s aim is to develop a new science of existential risk, and to develop protocols for the investigation and mitigation of technology-driven existential risks.
CSER is hosted within the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH), under the management of Dr Seán Ó hÉigeartaigh. The Centre's Management Committee is supported by an international Advisory Board. See the CSER project website for more information. http://cser.org/
