Eudoxa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eudoxa was a Swedish think tank, from 2000 to 2016. Eudoxa has a transhumanist, and liberal political profile, with a focus on promoting dynamism, emerging technologies, harm reduction policy and discussing the challenges of the environment and the future. It was independent from political parties and other political and religious interest groups.

Eudoxa organized seminars and conferences about these subjects, produced reports for corporations and organizations and promoted public debate.

It had 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 derived much from the book The Future and Its Enemies by Virginia Postrel.

Eudoxa discussed biotechnology, harm reduction, health care, nanotechnology, RFID, and intellectual property.

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

The think tank consisted of: Waldemar Ingdahl, Alexander Sanchez, and Anders Sandberg.

According to the 2014 Global Go To Think Tank Index Report (Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program, University of Pennsylvania), Eudoxa is rated number 25 (of 45) in the "Top Science and Technology Think Tanks" of the world.[1]

The think tank was closed in 2016
