A Network, Not a Hierarchy
The Institute for Synthetic Intelligence (The Synthetix Institute) is a global, decentralized organization dedicated to architecting novel forms of intelligence through rewireing networks of researchers, tools, and data.
Dynamic Network Architecture
Our organizational structure is designed as a dynamic network that can rapidly reconfigure around any mission or challenge.
The Collective
People
Our community of vetted members who provide the human intelligence, skills, and creativity. Researchers, students, mentors, and builders from around the world.
The Global Forge
Infrastructure
Our decentralized network of physical labs, equipment, and unique field sites, providing the infrastructure for creation and experimentation.
Missions
Projects
The dynamic, project-based teams formed when the Collective and the Forge are orchestrated by our AI to solve a specific challenge.
Our Mission
We believe the world's most complex challenges—from creating conscious matter to building resilient ecosystems—cannot be solved by siloed institutions. The traditional model of science, constrained by geographical boundaries and institutional hierarchies, is insufficient for the scale and urgency of problems we face.
Our mission is to accelerate scientific discovery by building a new operating system for science itself. We leverage our proprietary AI Core to synthesize global knowledge, generate novel research hypotheses, and orchestrate a distributed network of brilliant minds and open infrastructure.
We are founded on the principles of Decentralized Science (DeSci)—open, transparent, collaborative, and driven by merit. Our institute has no walls. We are a fluid network of talent, tools, and data, orchestrated by AI to tackle missions that are impossible for any single entity to solve alone.
The Stewards of the Institute
The Synthetix Institute is guided by a dedicated group of Stewards—senior researchers, builders, and visionaries responsible for championing new missions, maintaining scientific integrity, and onboarding the next generation of talent.
Directors
Strategic leaders who set the vision and direction for the Institute's research missions.
Vladimir Baulin
director
Theoretical models and methods in computer simulations, AI, computer vision. Interests in materials intelligence, soft matter
Quality Through Curation
Every member of our network is carefully vetted by our Stewards to ensure the highest quality and integrity. This human-led curation process guarantees that every node in the Synthetix network is authentic, qualified, and ready to contribute meaningfully to breakthrough science.
Steward Review Process
All applications are reviewed by multiple Stewards who verify credentials, assess relevance, and ensure alignment with our mission and values.
Continuous Excellence
Our network maintains high standards through ongoing peer review, mission feedback, and collaborative quality assurance.
