Our vision
We work to ensure that the infrastructure of the future belongs to the public
Topos means place.
Our place is the meeting point of academia, industry, and society. We convene a community of scientists, technologists, social impact experts, and policymakers to collectively advance sciences of connection and integration for the benefit of all.
More detail can be found in our Strategic Plan.
Our method
We achieve our mission through three interdependent pillars of activity
Fundamental science
Change begins at the source. We are a world-class mathematical and computer science research lab, whose work underpins today’s technology and presents a vision for tomorrow’s.
Technological innovation
Our lives have been transformed by global networks of trade, travel, and communication. Driven by new technologies, these networks enrich our lives, but also lead to new threats, including surveillance, polarization, and pandemics.
Ethics and society
We believe technology is best co-created with society, so that diverse voices can shape its goals and impacts. In order to produce technology that benefits all, we need to ensure that all can be present in the conversations.
