For those individuals who have already completed the Introductory EA Fellowship or have spent a significant amount of time reading about core principles of effective altruism, the In-Depth Effective Altruism (IDEA) Fellowship provides a space to further develop ideas on how to maximize the amount of good we can do.

The IDEA Fellowship is a 9-week program in which fellows complete assigned readings and meet for a 90-minute discussion each week. Topics span from moral philosophy, rationality and epistemology, high-impact cause areas, to longtermism and more. The first three weeks of the program include a structured reading list, while the remaining weeks give fellows the flexibility to deeply dive into topics that interest them.
