About

Background

Apollo Academic Surveys was founded in 2022. Our mission is to aggregate the views of academic experts, making them freely available to everyone.

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, originally funded philanthropically by the FTX Future Fund.
