Work – Topos Institute

We currently focus on four research themes:

Collaborative modelling

Our goal is to change the practice of science and of engineering. Building a large complex system is hard, in both scientific modelling and systems engineering.

Collective intelligence

How do we collectively make sense of the world? Can we describe how structures, language and intelligence emerge from interactions between people, technologies and their environments?

Community building

Systems technologies affect everyone. So how can we ensure everyone has a voice in their construction, and that their values are baked into the very core of the technologies that we build?

Research ethics

Given the connection between research and technology, how can we reshape the practice and culture of fundamental research to better build towards a world where we all can flourish?
