Eudoxa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eudoxa is a Swedish think tank, formed in 2000. Eudoxa has a transhumanist, and libertarian political profile, with a focus on promoting dynamism, emerging technologies and discussing the challenges of the environment and the future. It is independent from political parties and other political and religious interest groups.

Eudoxa organizes seminars and conferences about these subjects, produces reports for corporations and organizations and promotes public debate.

It employs a staff consisting both of scientist and humanists, in order to bridge the rift between The Two Cultures on evaluating the effects of emerging technologies, and give a better analysis. Its intellectual inspiration derives much from the book The Future and Its Enemies by Virginia Postrel.

Past collaborations include Tech Central Station, Competitive Enterprise Institute and Timbro.

Issues debated by the think tank include biotechnology, harm reduction, health care, nanotechnology, RFID and intellectual property.

Eudoxa became the first public policy think tank to host a seminar in the virtual world Second Life

Eudoxa is the Swedish partner in the International Property Rights Index.

The think tank currently consists of: Waldemar Ingdahl, Lene Johansen, Alexander Sanchez, Anders Sandberg and Marcus Sjöberg.
