Mission Statement

The Santa Fe Complex is a collaborative workspace that fosters applied complexity science through interdisciplinary education, outreach, and development of innovative technologies that address real-world problems, enable social cooperation and create economic opportunities.

 

 

Strategic Goals:

1. Create virtual and physical spaces to foster the application of complexity and other advanced computational tools to artistic creation, education, problem solving, group development, and intergroup conflict resolution.

 

2. Provide the scientific expertise, infrastructure and technological tools needed to support their work; and

 

3. Educate the general public and the scientific community about the use of complexity science and advanced computational tools to solve real world problems, enhance economic & artistic growth, and support social cooperation.

 

 

Perhaps we could add policy development to startegic goal 1? Paul

 

If there is any interest, I could post the rules and regs of the Board of Trustees of Rivernetwork (I am a board member). Paul

Don,

I am not happy with the new version:

"Founded in 2008, the Santa Fe Complex is a collaborative workspace that exists to increase community outreach, advise public policy makers, and provide students with the opportunity to gain professional experience and educational enrichment through research in, and real-world application of, complexity sciences."

REASONS:

For me, Complexity is a strong suit .... At LEAST "COMPLEX COMPUTATION" ETC. I DONT CARE what the world wants. It IS what we bring to the table. Whose community outreach? Secondly -- and this is not MY objection to make -- it casts us in the role of a think tank, which is WAY down a path that up til now many of us have resisted. Also, the mission has now lost its coherence. Until the last two words, it could well be a PTA. If this is where the meeting with Jack led us, I feel ... personally, and NOT as a member of the drafting committee ... that (for the best and kindest of motives) Jack may be leading us astray.

Merde -- I dont know what happened to the format of the previous message. It w as supposed to be four paragraphs. I think you can work it out, but perhaps I should put it in the document itself. I thought it was too partizan for that place of honor.

Nick,
That was my attempt at a mission statement, not Don's revision.

Oh, what have I wrought! How did I get confused.

I have suggested some very subtle changes to the goals of the mission statement, one substantive.
