Since 2018, CEEALAR has fostered impactful work by providing space, community, and freedom from financial pressure. Focused research happens here, collaborations emerge, and careers pivot toward high-impact directions—all organically, without formal programs. From alignment research to AI safety advocacy, these outcomes reflect what's possible when you remove barriers and let motivated people focus on what matters most.
Now, as we transform CEEALAR into a high-impact EA hub with outcome-driven programming, strategic partnerships, and expanded support, we're building on this foundation of organic success to create even greater opportunities for the next generation of effective altruists.
From community building to entrepreneurial initiatives, we've incubated 6+ organizations and 100+ long-term projects.
Featured below are key examples:
Research organization guiding the evolution of AI for human flourishing and risk reduction through research and policy analysis.
Inspiring advocates and coders to learn about, direct and deploy positive, impactful AI.
Sprint fellowships, focus retreats, and community gatherings that accelerated careers and sparked collaborations.
These anonymized case studies highlight a few of the many ways our alumni have transitioned into high-impact roles in AI safety, policy, research, and the broader EA community.
