<aside> ⚠️ Some groups find it hard to adjust to using Airtable. We’d only recommend using it if your organizers are down to watch the video and invest a bit of time in learning Airtable. Otherwise, you can use any other system, one that works for you and your co-organizers!

Our thanks to Ed Fage (Oxford) and Adam Krivka (Caltech) for creating this resource!
Airtable is like Google Sheets on steroids — it allows you to store and manage structured data, analyze it, and automate processes around it.
Adam and Ed created this resource to help make fellowship applications easier to process. This was made originally for introductory fellowships in Effective Altruism groups, but it’s just as useful for AI safety fellowships and reading groups.
