Summary

Long-term Governance is a young field with much room for growth. Policymakers and researchers often lack opportunities for focused and productive exchange. Our aim is to curate a community that is united in the aim to research and implement ways to safeguard the lives and freedom of future generations. We increase bandwidth between actors of different backgrounds but with shared goals through targeted outreach, a chat server, resource repositories and themed retreats.

Zulip

We use Zulip for communication. It’s like Slack but with proper threading - a great mix between a chat and a forum that won’t flood your email inbox. You can join streams for topical discussions, share updates, job postings and more. You can also have private chats - one-on-one or in groups.

Once we have confirmed your sign-up, you will be able to log into longtermgov.zulipchat.com via your browser or the app for your phone.

We document our thinking, learning, and resources. Head over to our blog to discover more.
