Mission: The Santa Fe Institute is a transdisciplinary research community, founded in 1984, that expands the boundaries of scientific understanding. SFI's aim is to discover, comprehend, and communicate the common fundamental principles in complex physical, computational, biological, and social systems that underlie many of the most profound problems facing science and society today. We are dedicated to developing advanced concepts and methods for these problems, and pursuing solutions at the interfaces between fields through wide-ranging collaborations, conversations, and educational programs. SFI combines expertise in quantitative theory and model building with a community and infrastructure able to support cutting-edge, distributed, and team-based science. At the Santa Fe Institute, we are asking big questions that matter to science and society. (Less)
