Many of us want to make the world a better place. But our time and resources are limited, so how can we use them as effectively as possible? Effective Altruism explores this question.

We discuss questions such as: Which career path allows me to do the most good? How can we fight poverty and disease? How can we prevent the next pandemic? What risks come with the development of artificial intelligence, and how can we respond to them? How can we improve living conditions for animals and ultimately end factory farming? To exchange ideas on these and many other topics, we are founding a new student group. Depending on the interests of new members, we are planning weekly open discussion rounds or a reading group around the book '80,000 Hours: How to Have a Fulfilling Career That Does Good'.
