Making TIES™ across disciplines
and communities.
Supporting the cognitive, social, and technological infrastructure to address the complex, interrelated problems of health and environment.
“No one knows everything, but everyone knows something.”
Why an Institute
Knowledge outpaced by complexity.
The major problems we face today - environmental crisis, disease, and their many interconnections - are growing faster than our ability to organize and apply what we already collectively know. The Institute was founded to help close that gap.
Our Initiatives
Addressing interrelated problems, together.
The Institute’s work is organized into focused initiatives, each bringing transdisciplinary methods to a major problem area. Additional initiatives are in development.
