The EA Fellowship

The Fellowship is a discussion programme that encourages participants to work out what they think actually matters, and how to do more of that in practice. In your groups, you will discuss:

  1. Tools for thinking about what matters most

  2. Frameworks for prioritising between cause areas

  3. Who or what matters morally

  4. How to make moral decisions under uncertainty

  5. The case for making AI safe

You can choose from either:

The weekend fellowship, on 1st November and 8th November OR 7th November and 14th November. 11am to 6pm for 2 days, with lunch and dinner provided.

The weekly fellowship, each week starting w/c 2nd November, at a time that you’re free (you’ll indicate your availability in the application). We’ll provide vegan food here too.
