Applications are open for EAGxBerlin, 13-15 September 2024!

Join us in September at Urania in central Berlin for a weekend full of networking with like-minded people. Plan your next career steps, dive into problem areas and solutions and meet old and new friends. If you are unsure if the event is for you, just apply – or join one of our virtual application events!
The application deadline is 28 August 2024. Attendance is donation-based, so it’s possible to attend on a tight budget.

Why attend?

• Connect: Meet like-minded people passionate about making a positive impact. 
• Grow: Map out your professional path, visit workshops on career development, engage with groundbreaking ideas from the cause areas you support, and identify promising opportunities from organisations represented at the conference. 
• Collaborate: Offer and receive support for new projects and ideas, receive valuable feedback from experts, and find new friends.

Visit Berlin!

Berlin is Germany’s vibrant capital with rich history, museums, parks, amazing restaurants and cultural events. It’s a great city to explore without a car. If possible, plan a few days extra to stay to connect to the local EA community at one of the side events and visit attractions in Berlin:

• Visit Effektiv Spenden’s recently renovated office tEAmwork for a day or two of co-working.
• Check out Berlin’s free Museum of the Future right next to the city's central train station.
• Discover some of the best vegan food on offer on a vegan food tour.

Here are more ideas for visiting Berlin as an EA.

Berlin is well-connected to all major German cities by train, coach, and aeroplane. We encourage you to travel by train or coach, especially if you’re coming from Northern Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark or Czechia.  

By train, there are connections between most large European cities for between €20 and €40 if you book early. There are also several night train services, a sleeper train from southern Germany, Switzerland, or Austria; and a sleeper train from Antwerp, Brussels, Amsterdam or Prague. 
Please apply for the event under the assumption that we won’t be able to support your travel cost, as we have limited funds (more info in our travel support policy). 

Is this event for me?

We encourage people new to EA to apply! We believe the conference will be of particular value to those currently exploring new ways they can have an impact:

• students
• young professionals
• mid-and late-career professionals looking to shift into EA-aligned work
• people who are excited to start new, impactful projects

If you also want to attend the LessWrong Community Weekend, you can apply for both events. Career development by day, rationalist discussions by night - it’s possible.

If you are uncertain about your eligibility, don't hesitate to apply or email us with your questions at berlin@eaglobalx.org!
