The Bergel Institute — Mission
Dedicated to the advancement of human knowledge and the human condition.
The common theme in all of the Institute's work is the pursuit of what is possible. As a strictly apolitical organization, it brings a commitment to critical thinking and the questioning of accepted norms and approaches to issues that lie at the foundation of what we think and how we live. In every discipline, assumptions are tested against evidence.
Six areas of focus
Our approach
In every discipline, assumptions are tested against evidence. We work across economics, technology, health, science, consciousness, and culture — bringing rigorous inquiry to the issues that lie at the foundation of what we think and how we live.
