Our policy plan 2026–2029

Category: Transparency

Our policy plan for 2026–2029 is ready (dated 10 July 2026). It sets out what we want to achieve, how we work and how we handle money: board members are unpaid, we make no speculative investments, and we publish all research results in principle. The plan describes three phases: start-up, expansion and continuity. You can read it on our Transparency page.

Nine hubs, named after Greek gods

Category: Projects

We have regrouped our future projects into nine hubs. Each hub is named after a Greek god with a matching specialty: Helios (energy), Athena (knowledge & education), Hephaistos (materials & building), Demeter (food), Prometheus (technology), Asklepios (health), Persephone (waste & cycles), Hestia (community) and Poseidon (water). Together they hold 41 projects, some of which are still proposals. See the projects
