Santa Fe Institute

SFI

Santa Fe, NM, United States

This organisation may not be a traditional think tank. We have included it in this list as we deem it to be a 'boundary' organisation – in other words, it might have some qualities or characterstics of a think tank.

SFI researchers endeavor to understand and unify the underlying, shared patterns in complex physical, biological, social, cultural, technological, and even possible astrobiological worlds. Our global research network of scholars spans borders, departments, and disciplines, unifying curious minds steeped in rigorous logical, mathematical, and computational reasoning. As they reveal the unseen mechanisms and processes that shape these evolving worlds, they seek to use this understanding to promote the wellbeing of humankind and of life on earth.
