Which criteria does the Seerave Foundation use in determining what to support and how?

When we consider what to support, we frequently look for new ideas for empowering the most talented people to solve hard societal problems and the availability of partners to aggregate capital, including financial, human, intellectual, or infrastructure capital. Some specific criteria we have used to achieve our goals include:

  • New and original ideas or theses to support people working to address human problems, in particular through the development of new platforms, or use of advanced analysis, computing tools, or data science;

  • Solutions that encourage interdisciplinary approaches and promote inclusion.
