When we talk about Effective Altruism, what exactly are we talking about?
There are multiple ways you might answer this question, but one of them is to discuss that now there are a huge number of organisations affiliated with EA, and look at what they have achieved!
After giving a brief introduction to what EA is and its history, this talk discusses a wide range of organisations that make up the ‘EA ecosystem’. Important examples we will cover include GiveWell, 80,000 Hours, Open Philanthropy, the Centre for Effective Altruism, Giving What We Can and the Global Priorities Institute.This session will be held in room KK204 at Kelburn Campus. The room is on floor 2 of Kirk Building. Please be aware the doors to the university stop automatically opening past 6 pm, and to leave the university level 3 is easiest without a pass after this time. While we run events at the university our group is comprised of both students and professionals. Anyone is welcome to join.
