Twice a year, I try to advertise ACX meetups around the world. We’ll do the Fall version of those shortly, but now it’s time to announce the list of every college effective altruism meetup we’re helping coordinate, so that students who want to find their local group can find it, and people who have been meaning to go to one for three semesters finally have a date on a calendar.
This time there are 79 meetups at universities in 15 countries. Students at the school in question are especially encouraged to come, but all are welcome. You don’t have to have read anything in particular, and you don’t have to consider yourself an effective altruist.
The list is divided into North America, Africa & The Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. Within each region, meetups are alphabetized by country, then by city, then by school. Meetups in the United States are alphabetized by state first, then by city, then by school.
Every entry has one-click “add to calendar” links at the bottom. They work in Google Calendar, Outlook.com, Outlook 365 (the version most schools give you), and Yahoo. Each one carries the correct absolute time, so if you’re clicking a link for a meetup in another timezone, it will land in the right slot on your own calendar. Nothing is saved until you press Save in your own calendar app. End times are estimates; check with the host if it matters.
Thanks to everyone who volunteered to organize these.
You’re invited. If you saw this post, read this far, and want to come, you are the target audience. Nobody at the door will quiz you.
Some of these meetups are in rooms that were not yet booked when the organizer filled out the form. If an entry says the room is unconfirmed, click the group link or email the organizer a day or two beforehand to check.
Where an organizer has included an RSVP link, please use it (it’s how they decide how much pizza to buy). But using it isn’t a requirement, and you can still come if you forget.
Print a sign saying “EA MEETUP” in big letters so people don’t have to do the awkward “Are you looking for the EA meetup” dance again with every new attendee.
Get there ten minutes early and sit somewhere visible. If your room turns out to be locked, stand outside it and coordinate the relocation.
Have something ready for the first fifteen minutes, when there are three people and everyone is waiting for more to arrive.
You don’t need to prepare a lecture. Most good meetups are people talking to each other. If you want structure, pick two or three questions and let the conversation wander off them.
Collect emails, or run a signup sheet, or have a QR code to your group chat. Half the value of a meetup like this is the people who come once and would come again if they knew when.
If your plans change (new room, new time, cancelled) tell the people who signed up, and update the group link so latecomers to this post find the right information.

Location: We’ll be sitting on the grass, in the lawn of the Pierre et Marie Curie Campus. The main entrance of the campus is on the ‘place Jussieu’. You’ll be facing the Zamansky tower. As-the-crow-flies, the direction the grass is when you’re facing the tower is roughly 40° clockwise. You should follow reasonable pathways while keeping that direction in mind. Please join the whatsapp community if you need further assistance, I’ll post a video walkthrough there. We will have a kakemono with us so you can distinguish us from other student groups.
