What is EAGx Amsterdam?
EAGxAmsterdam brings together people using evidence and reason to tackle the world's most pressing problems — from AI safety and global health to animal welfare and ensuring the wellbeing of future generations.
Three days of talks, workshops, and — crucially — one-on-one meetings with other attendees. The format is designed around conversation, not just content. Most attendees make around 10 new connections, scheduled through our conference app, Swapcard. You'll meet researchers, founders, policymakers, and career-changers working on problems that actually matter.
Topics include global health and development, animal welfare, catastrophic risk reduction, AI safety, and global priorities research. The emphasis is on clear thinking and real-world application, not abstract philosophy.
Programme highlights:
Structured 1-1 meetings (the core of the conference)
Expert talks on current research and open problems
Small-group discussions and workshops
Social events and informal conversations
