GIAS’s mission is to cultivate transformative research that challenges prevailing paradigms and fosters critical reflection across disciplines. We are dedicated to:
- Advancing frontier scholarship through rigorous, interdisciplinary frameworks
- Supporting scholars in producing work that contributes to structural reform, policy innovation, and ethical transformation
- Facilitating public engagement with advanced scholarship to foster societal dialogue and understanding
- Sustaining a reflective academic community rooted in critical humanism and collaborative innovation
- Preserving academic time and mental space for speculative, longitudinal, and ethically embedded inquiry
GIAS envisions a world in which scholarship guides public reason and collective imagination toward more just, inclusive, and sustainable futures.
Our Strategic Goals:
- Reinvigorate the public mission of research in a post-truth era
- Establish epistemic infrastructures for anticipatory governance
- Foster radical interdisciplinarity that bridges the cognitive, material, and institutional dimensions of global challenges
- Center knowledge production in dignity, solidarity, and planetary stewardship
- Resist knowledge extractivism through ethical collaborations and reciprocal partnerships
- Create open knowledge ecologies that serve civil society, not just academic audiences
