ABOUT

Apollo Academic Surveys was funded in 2022 by FTX Future Fund. Our mission is to aggregate the views of academic experts, making them freely available to everyone. We aim to provide information to the public and scientists themselves with expert opinion on big questions, and provide information about the degree of scientific consensus.

Apollo surveys are managed by Chris Said, working with expert academics in each survey field. Chris is a data scientist interested in aggregating views across a variety of fields.

This work is inspired by the popular University of Chicago IGM survey of economists. The IGM surveys demonstrate the value of using the internet to aggregate and publicize expert knowledge in memorable, impactful ways, thereby identifying areas of scientific consensus and areas where scientific opinion might vary widely within or between fields of study.

Apollo Academic Surveys is a nonprofit organization.
