SPAR Fellows Meetup | Cowork & Dinner at PEAKS
Several people in Zurich are doing SPAR this fall, so let’s get you all in one room! 🤝
SPAR is remote, so most of you are probably doing your research alone at home. On Friday, 30 October, we’re inviting all SPAR fellows in and around Zurich to ⛰︎ PEAKS, the AI safety and EA coworking space in the centre of Zurich.
💻 Cowork all day: Bring your laptop and work on your SPAR project next to other fellows and people who work on AI safety full-time. Stay the whole day or drop in whenever it suits you.
🍲 Free dinner in the evening: We’ll have dinner together, with dinner discussions, research chats and a chance to get to know the other fellows. You’re very welcome to come just for dinner.
🧭 Not doing SPAR? Fellows from other AI safety fellowships and research programs (e.g. MATS, ERA, Pivotal) are just as welcome.
