As a researcher:
- All qualified researchers with a deep interest in foundational questions are encouraged to apply for FQXi grants and participate in contests. Watch for announcements of these opportunities here.
- Grant winners are automatically given membership in the FQX Consortium. New Members are recruited twice a year through nominations by current Members. Members may participate in FQXi in a number of ways, such as applying for Mini-Grants and recommending new initiatives.
- We anticipate that in addition to the FQXi-organized symposia, there will also be a number of smaller workshops and conferences sponsored. These will provide an excellent opportunity for the scientific community to participate in, and contribute to, foundational questions research.
As a patron of foundational research:
- The Foundational Questions Institute is a new concept in philanthropically-funded research into questions of wide and deep interest to humanity. Its continued success and viability depend on the generosity of financial donors with a deep interest in foundational issues who recognize that existing funding is mostly limited to relatively less risky, more conventional and more immediately applicable research. Thus, even relatively modest philanthropic support can have a very large impact on research into foundational questions. Anyone interested in supporting FQXi, or that has ideas for creating new FQXi initiatives, is encouraged to click here. Or more immediately, anyone can:
