EA Summit: Geneva
🎉 The first EA Summit in Geneva!
This one-day event brings people together around effective altruism (EA), a growing global movement dedicated to doing good more effectively. Geneva is a city built on international cooperation, and this summit is for people here who want to think deeply about how to do the most good with the resources they have. You'll hear from inspiring speakers who have built their careers around that question, and leave motivated by the ideas and the community you've connected with.
📝 How to Apply

👥 Who Is This For?
EA Summit Geneva is designed primarily for Geneva-based professionals with a policy-related, international background, with little or no prior EA exposure.
This event might be especially useful for:
Professionals in global health and development, humanitarian response, biosecurity, AI, animal welfare, or related fields, interested in using their skills to address some of the world's most pressing problems.
Researchers and academics working on policy-relevant questions excited about applying critical thinking to complex social problems.
People already working in effective altruism related roles that are interested in networking and providing mentorship during the conference, or in supporting regional efforts.
Recent graduates or final-year students in international relations, public health, development, law, or a related field, who want to start building the connections and thinking that will shape their career. Spaces for students are limited, so we encourage students to apply with that in mind.
If you want to attend but are unsure whether this event is for you, we strongly recommend applying anyway.
