Bespoke research & analysis

Adapt Research provides bespoke research and writing services. We help you deliver high-quality evidence-based answers to strategic questions about health, technology and catastrophic risk.

We specialise in producing evidence-based resources, reports, and research papers and have a strong record managing and executing the research process from planning to publication.

Our research director Matt is a medically qualified senior researcher with a PhD in philosophy.

We’re particularly interested in work on island refuges for mitigating catastrophic risks.
