The Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research fosters open transdisciplinary inquiry into current science-based conceptions of the human being and the world. The Institute brings together open-minded scientists and lay people from all parts of the world to develop emerging ideas and communicate them to people in their particular fields as well as to society at large. Offering educational programs, publications, and consulting services, the Laszlo Institute pioneers transdisciplinary New Paradigm research that acts at a causal level to systemically address the key challenges our world faces today, with current focus areas in Education, Healthcare, and Systemic Impact & Leadership. The Institute seeks to become a leading-edge, internationally recognized center promoting the new paradigm emerging in science and society while exploring its implications for human well-being and social and ecological sustainability.
Why it matters: Opening fresh theoretical and practical perspectives for constructive paths beyond today’s crises requires articulating a coherent, meaningful view of the human being and world based on cutting-edge scientific research—providing an accurate picture of where we are and where we could be heading. By clarifying the scientific basis of the emerging new paradigm and creating prototypes that apply new paradigm methods, worldviews, and principles, the Institute enhances credibility while promoting practical application. The transdisciplinary approach recognizes that humanly and ecologically sound paths forward cannot emerge from siloed disciplines but require ongoing multilogue between scientists, practitioners, and the public worldwide.
