Animal Speaking Event

​Learn, discuss, and connect with the EA community

​How can we most effectively help the animals - across food systems, research, policy, and emerging technologies?

​This question spans many domains: alternative protein innovation, welfare science, corporate and policy advocacy, behavioral change, and ethical decision-making under uncertainty. Navigating this landscape requires not only good intentions, but also evidence, strategic thinking, and collaboration across disciplines.

​Effective Altruism Amsterdam invites you to an evening of talks and discussion with multiple speakers who work in cultured meat, political lobby, plant-based agriculture, and vegan activism. Together, we will explore different career paths, what the biggest open challenges are, and how individuals from different academic and professional backgrounds might contribute.

🎯 Who this is for

• ​Students and professionals interested in:

  • ​Sustainability and food systems

  • ​Ethics and animal welfare

  • ​Biotechnology and innovation

  • ​Policy, governance, and impact-driven careers
