Do you want to learn more about topics in effective altruism? Do you want to develop useful skills whilst making an impact? Then you should join our project sessions which take place every Monday at 17.30-20.30 at the KTH campus. Here, we work together on important projects with the aim of making the world a better place. We provide free food and good company.

The rest of this page contains the main information about participating in the project sessions that EA KTH run regularly.

What is a project?

A project could be many things; here are some examples:

• Research into an impactful topic like AI safety, biosecurity or some other important cause area, that results in an academic paper, blog post or just a short summary for yourself.
• Make a concrete impactful career plan for yourself.
• Arrange an event that inspires more people to do good, like a discussion evening or lunch lecture.

You can see more examples in detail on our designated page for projects:

Project List

What is important is that you are curious about a topic or a skill, and that you choose a project which aligns with that topic or skill, and that also has to do with effective altruism in some way. There are a lot of great things that haven’t been done yet, and which are not on the project lists, and we would love to hear about your own ideas.

We are very happy to talk to you and give you suggestions on what projects you could do based on your current interests and skills.
