The Santa Fe Institute (SFI) seeks to map the landscape of ideas of the future. Many of society’s most interesting observations, and most pressing problems, fall far from the focus of disciplinary research. Complex problems require novel ideas that are suited to thinking about non-equilibrium, highly connected, adaptive systems. We are dedicated to developing advanced concepts and methods for these new problems, and pursuing through wide ranging collaborations, conversations, and education, solutions to difficulties that lie on the interfaces of fields. SFI combines expertise in quantitative theory and model building with a community and infrastructure able to support cutting-edge, distributed and team-based science. In an interconnected world we need interconnected ideas delivered by an interconnected research institute - the Santa Fe Institute.
