Join us for a colloquium talk by Felix Brandt, Professor of Algorithmic Game Theory at the Technical University of Munich, on the timely topic of “Coordinating Charitable Donations.”

Brandt will explore a novel direction in social choice and fair division—how to allocate donor-funded budgets across charitable projects based on agents’ preferences. Departing from traditional participatory budgeting, this framework models donations without fixed project costs and highlights key trade-offs between efficiency, fairness, and strategyproofness.

In an article Equity in Action: Experiencing EAAMO ’24 in Mexico, our director of communications Rhea Tibrewala highlights the transformative impact of hosting the EAAMO 2024 conference in San Luis Potosí, the first time the event was held outside the United States. The conference fostered meaningful collaborations between global researchers and local communities, featuring initiatives like the REDNACECYT Summer of Science Program and a Social Hackathon focused on breast cancer.
