After a three-year hiatus, we're thrilled to be welcoming the community back to EAGxAustralia, which will be held at the Australian National University, from July 8th-10th.

We've lined up a range of speakers from around the world, including experts on global health and poverty, AI safety, animal welfare, and climate change. The programme will also include workshops, meetups, and plenty of time for networking and socialising.

Applications for the conference have now closed, but tickets are still available for the Friday night keynote— this event is open to the public, including to those who are not attending the full weekend conference. You can find further information about the keynote, including instructions on claiming your ticket here. Saturday and Sunday (the 9th and 10th) will feature full-day programmes, with talks and other events running from 9am til 6pm on both days.


Further Info & FAQs

 

Who is the conference for?

EAGxAustralia is for people with an understanding of the core ideas of effective altruism, who have completed an introductory course or have engaged with more than 20 hours of effective altruism related content. We would encourage all people described here to apply. If you’re unsure about whether to apply, err on the side of applying.

Travel Assistance

You'll be able to apply for financial assistance for your travel expenses in the application form. Please do apply for support if the cost of attending would be prohibitive for you.

Schedule/Programme

The conference will kick off with an evening keynote at around 6pm on Friday the 8th. Saturday and Sunday will both be full-day programmes, with sessions running from around 9am til 6pm.  For further information on the programme, including details of specific talks/sessions as they’re announced, see our website

COVID-19

Our current COVID-19 policy is viewable here. The most important point to note is that we are requiring attendees to be fully vaccinated, including a booster dose if eligible.

Visas

If you are accepted to the conference and need a visa, we recommend you check if you could be eligible for a “Temporary Activity Visa”. (Though this is not legal advice— we strongly encourage attendees to research for themselves whether they need a visa and which visa is best.) In most cases we can provide a signed letter of invitation to support a visa application.
