National Advocacy

Our national advocacy focuses on translating deep, interdisciplinary research into real-world political frameworks. At this level, we don’t just study institutions — we help reimagine them.

What do we do?

At the national level, we collaborate with emerging political actors to:

  • Integrate philosophical and scientific insight into their platform development

  • Support the creation of evidence-based, systems-aware policies

  • Contribute to long-term political renewal grounded in human wellbeing and legitimacy

Collaborations with Political Parties

    “Tillsammans” - Together

    The PACS Institute has worked closely with Tillsammans, an emerging political party in Sweden committed to promoting well-being and evidence-based governance.

    Born out of the grassroots initiative Nya Principer för Politik, Tillsammans has drawn on PACS research to shape its platform.

    This partnership illustrates how rigorous academic inquiry can inform political innovation — helping to develop policy frameworks aimed at a more equitable and sustainable society.

Why This Matters

In an era of polarised politics and failing legitimacy, we believe academic institutions have a duty to contribute outside the classroom.

Tillsammans demonstrates what’s possible when:

  • Political movements engage with complexity, not just slogans

  • Research institutions support value-driven, systems-literate policy design

  • Philosophy and evidence are used to build something new, not just critique the old

This is not a think tank recommending change.

It’s real collaboration with people building it.

    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.
