Open deadlines
Conferences, workshops, fellowships, and training programmes with currently-open submission or sign-up deadlines: calls for papers, fellowship applications, registration, early-bird pricing. Sorted by deadline, soonest first.
Regional EA Global conference with heavy AI safety attendance. Berkeley location draws alignment researchers, interpretability practitioners, and governance community. In scope for social and community networking reasons.
EAGx (Effective Altruism Global x) regional conference in Berkeley. Part of the EA Global conference series organized by Centre for Effective Altruism. Heavy AI safety attendance and programming as Berkeley is a major hub for alignment research.
12-week AI safety research fellowship funded by Open Philanthropy (Coefficient Giving). 30 fellows selected through two-stage process work with mentors from Google DeepMind, Meta, Stanford, Anthropic, and Berkeley from ideation to conference submission. Recent cohorts achieved 68-73% conference acceptance rates.
3-week ML upskilling bootcamp for AI safety focusing on interpretability and reinforcement learning, based on ARENA curriculum. Run by Cambridge Boston Alignment Initiative. Provides housing, meals, 24/7 office access, dedicated TAs, and travel support.
Participants design and run experiments to build the empirical foundations of AI welfare, investigating how to distinguish genuine preferences in frontier models from portrayed character traits. Focuses on digital minds consciousness and welfare research.
One-day workshop inviting submissions addressing three core challenges: Interactive Measurement (evaluating policies and agent behavior with non-independent observations), Measurement under Strategic Optimization (robustness against gaming and adaptive leaderboards), and Measurement under Non-Stationarity (handling drift and monitoring deployed systems). Research track and competition track submissions accepted.
Supervised Program for Alignment Research: part-time remote research program pairing aspiring researchers with experienced mentors from Google DeepMind, RAND, Apollo Research, MATS, UK AISI, etc. for three-month projects. 210+ experts for Fall 2026. Mentees commit 5-40 hours weekly. Culminates in Demo Day featuring posters, talks, and career fair with METR, Redwood Research, GovAI and MATS.
Grant fund awarding at least $200,000 in grants and prizes for corrigibility research in 2026. Typical awards range from $5,000-$35,000. Two rounds: Round 1 deadline August 23, Round 2 deadline October 31. Prize awards of $40,000 by end of September and at least $60,000 mid-December (no application required for prizes). Research spanning pure theory (formal models, decision-theoretic analysis) to empirical work (training experiments, evaluations) qualifies. Work must be legible to frontier AI labs and avoid accelerating capabilities development.
3-month mentored research fellowship in applied mathematics for AI alignment by Iliad. Based in London at LISA. Provides $6,000/month stipend. Selection based on estimated mathematical strength.
4-week intensive program in applied mathematics for AI alignment by Iliad. Based in London at LISA. Provides $5,000 support. Selection based on estimated mathematical strength.
10-week Cambridge-based fellowship on existential AI risk. Fellows paid a competitive stipend, with meals during working hours, transport, visas, and lodging covered for the duration. Welcomes talented individuals from around the world at any career stage motivated to contribute to AI safety and governance research. 30+ events hosted over the fellowship period, with weekly mentorship and dedicated research management support.
EAGx (Effective Altruism Global x) regional conference in Oxford. Part of the EA Global conference series organized by Centre for Effective Altruism. Oxford is a major hub for AI safety and governance research.
ARC (Alignment Research Center) partnered with AIcrowd to launch a contest focused on improving estimation algorithms for neural network behavior through mechanistic analysis. The warm-up round begins in early June 2026.
