About the Fellowship

The Oskar Morgenstern Fellowship is a one-year, competitive and online fellowship program awarded to scholars, practitioners, and graduate students from any discipline with interest in political economy and emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence.

The aim of this fellowship is to introduce graduate students, scholars, and practitioners to how the Austrian, Virginia, and Bloomington schools of political economy address questions regarding institutions, progress, governance, epistemology, the theory of the mind, and philosophy of science. Exploring these questions is particularly relevant for assessing the potential and limitations of artificial intelligence and other such emerging technologies. Oskar Morgenstern Fellows meet for three weekends during the academic year participating in online seminar discussion-style colloquia on these themes of political economy. Fellows will join a network of Mercatus students, alumni, and scholars who are conducting and engaging with cutting edge research in contemporary political economy.

The total award of up to $2,250 includes:

• A stipend
• All required readings
