Effective altruism (EA) is all about combining empathy, reason and evidence. EA Macquarie University is a student group exploring and acting on these ideas!

Welcome to Effective Altruism @ Macquarie University! Effective altruism is about combining empathy, reason and evidence to "Do the Most Good You Can Do". Effective Altruists ask themselves questions such as: “To which charity should I donate in order to have the greatest impact?”, “What causes are most worthy of my time and attention?”, and “How can I choose a career that will have the most impac

t?”

Thanks to everyone who came to our trivia on the Australian Aid Program.

Congratulations to Chunliang (third from the left), for winning the game with an enormous -12 points. As a result, he directed the $100 prize to Longview Philanthropy's Emerging Challenges Fund (ECF).

The fund 'provides unique expertise across beneficial AI, biosecurity, and nuclear weapons policy.' For example, in 2024, Longview allocated over half of the ECF to drafters of the European Union AI Act's Code of Practice.
