Equiano Institute Scope & Methods

The Equiano Institute's research areas revolve around principles of fairness, accountability, interpretability, and responsibility (FAIR). Our work entails rigorous scientific research, including investigations into research winters, while emphasizing meta-science to improve research quality and reduce publication bias.

We are dedicated to studying the economic impacts of emerging technologies and potential displacements they might cause. Additionally, we engage in comprehensive research that spans development studies, economics and machine learning, leveraging insights from participatory research to shape a responsible and sustainable technological future.
