The Santa Fe Institute (SFI)

The Santa Fe Institute (SFI) is a private, independent organization whose research seeks to understand complex systems through an interdisciplinary approach. The Institute attracts internationally-known scholars, including Nobel Laureates, to Santa Fe for its workshops and research programs.

SFI is devoted to creating a new kind of scientific research community, one emphasizing multidisciplinary collaboration in pursuit of understanding the common themes that arise in natural, artificial, and social systems. This unique scientific enterprise attempts to uncover the mechanisms that underlie the deep simplicity present in our complex world.

Institute researchers have access to parallel processing resources at LANL and UNM, and both parallel and standalone processing resources on-site at SFI.

Learn@sfi (http://www.santafe.edu/education/), the Institute’s educational program, is building on SFI’s leadership position in multidisciplinary research to revolutionize science and science education.  These educational and outreach programs - schools, fellowships, and informal learning activities - challenge next generation’s brightest scholars and inspire the broader population to think critically about the complex problems facing science and society today.

Current research themes include:

Physics of Complex Systems
Emergence & Innovation in Evolutionary Systems
Information Processing & Computation in Complex Systems
Dynamics & Quantitative Studies of Human Behavior
Emergence, Organization & Dynamics of Living Systems
