Event from Effective Altruism

A0.23 (Social Sciences FME, A Block, Ground Floor)

Welcome to Effective Altruism Warwick! If you're interested in how to do the most good with your career, EA Warwick is the society for you.

Join our flagship introductory talk by Mattie Toma, an Associate Professor at Warwick Business School and behavioural economics expert. During the talk, Mattie will introduce the core concepts of Effective Altruism - a global movement focused on finding the best ways to help others - and show examples of where our intuitions about charities may mislead us, and how to have the most impact with our time, career choice or money.

Come along to hear an insightful talk, meet the exec team, discover our plans for the year and have some free pizza!
