When Do Good Interventions Become the Path of Least Resistance?

RSVPlease (click on the buttons above, no account or email is needed)

Update: The Venue has changed. We will meet at Gunnar's place (address above).

Most EA interventions require constant effort and care. They need sustained funding, dedicated attention and institutional competence. But what if it doesn't have to be that way?

Join us to explore: Which interventions continue doing good even when effort, funding, or goodwill degrades?

We'll examine interventions that become self-stabilizing once established, where incentives and social dynamics preserve and reinforce positive outcomes rather than fighting against them. Think: interventions that eventually run with the grain of human nature and institutional incentives, not against them.

What We'll Do:

• Classify example interventions by their self-stabilization potential
• Break into groups to tackle the core question in your chosen cause area
• Map what success looks like and what's needed to make it self-reinforcing
• Present findings and synthesize insights across cause areas
