On the basis of humanistic and social-scientific reflection on human becoming, we develop concrete visions of future socio-economic and political realities. THE NEW INSTITUTE is an experimental initiative aimed at developing social imaginaries for future societies. We combine academic rigor with innovative practice to inspire, promote and implement societal change. We try to close the gap between insight and action by bringing together academics from different disciplines with politicians, entrepreneurs, journalists, and artists. We live and collaboratively work together in the Warburg Ensemble, which provides the conditions for rethinking conventional approaches to work. We host up to 35 fellows and build unlikely alliances.
