Partners, Affiliates, Supporters and Friends
The following is a list of organizations (or faculty/members at such institutions) that have
- expressed fellowship, interest and support for the mission, purposes, activities, and values of the Institute and the LEAPS lab.
- and/or
- expressed interest or commitment to support, collaboration, and affirmation of the IIS and LEAPS
(in alphabetical order)
It is the dedicated intent and practice of the Institute to remain and to stand in a manner that demonstrates academic and
professional integrity, scientific objectivity, ethical commitment, and a clear abiding and support of rule of law
and the social contract in its conduct and promotion of study and research. There is no formal, financial, contractual
or other form of obligatory commitment by any of these institutions or their members. Any expressions of support and
endorsement are voluntary, pro bono and without financial basis. This is deliberate and fundamental for what the Institute aspires
to be and to maintain.
Persons affiliated with the above institutions, agencies, organizations and companies (such as board members and officers) may
be contacted for references with respect to the Institute, LEAPS and other IIS projects.
The Institute takes a position that, in spite of considerable evidence of commercialism and self-gain motivated behavior that
has sometimes occurred within scientific and academic institutions, there can be a reinvigoration of classical, ethical, moral
thinking and practice, a renewal of achieving aletheia, scientia and sophos that is grounded in ethical,
honorable, and uncompromised principles of living and working for the discovery and sharing of truth.
Readers should understand that the Institute (IIS) and LEAPS constitute a legitimate and proper approach to
establishing a non-profit, self-sustaining, open-minded and objective-thinking center of interdisciplinary
research, learning and development IIS is devoted to discovery and learning in the abstract and theoretical domains but also,
as a very important distinction, to the creation of practical and useful solutions for problems facing our complex and
delicately-balanced world. The Institute is particularly attuned to addressing Emergent Critical Events and Processes
in our natural and social universe. In this sense, the Institute can be said to stand as a "(r)evolutionary" force dedicated to
the restoration and conservation of sound and objective scientific investigation and for the liberal, unfettered, unorthodox
thinking that is required in order to sustain such conservation, preservation, and stability in our world.

The following is a list of organizations that have (unofficially or officially) expressed such through communications and
which the Institute endorses and encourages for their work, their contributions, their value to science and to society.
Again, this list is not intended to imply commitment, contractual or otherwise, at the present time, but to demonstrate
the positive responses and interactions that have come toward and regarding the Institute and LEAPS, and to provide our statement
of support for the quality and integrity we find in these organizations, their people and their contributions to science and society.
