Advocacy

With Special Consultative Status at the United Nations, we engage directly with policymakers, NGOs, and global institutions to promote practical change. We translate evidence-based insights into actionable recommendations, bridging the gap between academic research and international policy. Rather than only conducting research, we also advocate for change at the international level – leveraging our UN status to bring scholarly perspectives into global policy debates.

    International

    From UN halls to global policy debates, we bring philosophy, systems thinking, and evidence into multilateral negotiations. We contribute written statements, host official side events, and help shape international declarations — pushing for legitimacy, peace, and accountability at the highest level.

    National

    We collaborate with emerging and established political actors to build systems-literate, evidence-based platforms grounded in wellbeing and democratic legitimacy. Our national work currently focuses on a partnership with Sweden’s Tillsammans party — translating deep research into real-world political frameworks.

    Media

    We engage in long-form public thinking through podcasts, interviews, and social platforms — turning critique into conversation. From our appearance on Sentientism to thoughtful posts on LinkedIn and Bluesky, we use media to test ideas in public and invite deeper discourse.

    As a member of the Alliance for Peacebuilding — the largest global network of peacebuilders — we collaborate with organisations advancing just, evidence-based approaches to peace.
