Fellowship Evaluation - EA Geneva

This form should take you ~10 minutes to fill out.

Our fellowship programme is becoming the centrepiece of our mission to make Geneva a hub for aspiring effective altruists. As a fellow, you have a unique insight into what you have (not) gotten out of the programme so far.

To make our work more valuable for you and other fellows, please, leave us your unvarnished thoughts. We won't take them personally, promise!

Thank you for your answers.

How to give us maximally valuable feedback

We consider the fellowship successful if it helps you do more good in the world than you would have done without being a fellow (i.e. we care about our "counterfactual impact").

Negative feedback and explorations of counterfactuals are the most valuable bits of information for us.

If you have the time, use the free text boxes to contextualize your quantitative answers. We would appreciate it a lot!

There's an optional field at the end to leave your name - we would love to be able to ask up follow-up questions in case clarifications appear valuable.

When did you join the fellowship?

No need to be super precise, it's fine if it's +/- 1 month.

What are the 1-3 most valuable things about the fellowship for you?

What are 1-3 things you would change about the fellowship?

Estimate: how much more good will you do as a result of joining the fellowship?

Give us a rough percentage-change (e.g. 100% to tell us you expect to have twice the impact in the future as a result of having been a fellow).

Estimate: compared to what you would have otherwise done with the time you now invest in the fellowship, how valuable is it?

Not at all valuable (< 10% of counterfactual)

Notably less valuable (10-20% of counterfactual)

Somewhat less valuable (20-50% of counterfactual)

Slightly less valuable (50-100% of counterfactual)

About as valuable (roughly the same as the counterfactual)

Somewhat more valuable (1-3x the counterfactual)

Notably more valuable (3-10x the counterfactual)

Much more valuable (10-30x the counterfactual)

Far more valuable (>30x the counterfactual)
