Ideally, people would get the opportunity to get up to speed, “bridge the inferential gap” and get to start thinking about how to have an impact full time during their undergraduate studies.

I was thus pleased to see Ben Todd and Will MacAskill mention the idea of creating some kind of EA University during their EAG appearances.
