​Effective altruism is a research field, philosophy, and social movement. It is about using evidence and reason to to find and pursue the best ways to improve the world.

​At EA Amsterdam, we mainly discuss the practical & philosophical issues surrounding the world's most pressing problems and what we can do to mitigate them. If you'd like to discuss topics like ethics, pandemics, risks from AI, climate change and global poverty in an open-minded and truth-seeking environment, or/and discuss what actions you can engage in to benefit others tremendously, then please join us.
