We bring together scientists and scholars from many disciplines to conduct research, start pilot projects and develop policy recommendations. Our work is based on a scientific evolutionary perspective that recognizes the complexity of our biggest challenges as we seek practical solutions to sustain and improve the quality of life for all.

Our mission is to apply science-based solutions and use evidence-based best practices to solve today’s most pressing social issues to improve quality of life.

Theory of Change

• "Our vision is to apply research, knowledge and expertise in order to elevate quality of life, advance social justice and human equality, and add value to issues affecting humanity for the benefit all people."
• "The Evolution Institute’s premise is that elevating quality of life requires a largely bottom-up approach and a high-quality education that advances universal cooperation and critical thinking. We find this premise applicable to the European Union and the US, whose members generally have a high quality of life and substantial resources that enable them to cooperate most of the time quite well."
