University groups
University groups offer a variety of activities, including educational programs, meetups like social events, discussion groups, and talks, as well as group trips to conferences. They also provide guidance for starting impactful careers with effective charities.
Cause-specific groups
Cause-specific groups focus on specific areas linked to effective altruism. There's an active EAAN (Effective Animal Advocacy Netherlands) WhatsApp group and regular meetups for those interested in animal welfare.
Animal Welfare
EAAN (Effective Animal Advocacy Netherlands) is a community for those interested in animal welfare and effective altruism, focused on sharing information, coordinating actions, and occasionally organising events.
Effective Environmentalism
Effective environmentalism aims to find the best ways to tackle environmental problems and put them into action.
Global Health and Development
An informal network for anyone in the Netherlands active in global health and development: to share knowledge, connect with others, and stay informed about opportunities and events.
We're also excited about developing groups in various areas, including global priorities research, global health and development (currently being set up), positively shaping the development of artificial intelligence (like AISI Groningen), reducing global catastrophic biological risks, enhancing nuclear security, improving institutional decision-making, and exploring alternative protein options.
