The Centre for Enabling EA Learning & Research (abbreviated CEEALAR, formerly EA Hotel) supports individuals to self-educate and work towards charitable aims within the framework of effective altruism (EA). It provides successful applicants with grants for free or subsidised accommodation, catering within the centre and a stipend.
