  • ACSE Vision 2025
    The American Society for Civil Engineers has a passion for preparing the civil engineering profession for tomorrow’s world. The publications The Vision for Civil Engineering in 2025 and Achieving the Vision for Civil Engineering in 2025: A Roadmap for the Profession mark the culmination of almost eight years of effort to redefine what it will mean to be a civil engineer in the world of the future. Vision 2025 represents the collective wisdom of more than 60 experts from around the world and presents an aspirational vision for what the future can and should be. Numerous individual civil engineers and civil engineering organizations around the world have embraced this appeal for a new, enhanced role for the profession. They call on civil engineers to control their own destiny rather than letting events control it for them.

  • International Strategy and Policy Institute (ISPI)
    ISPI was established in 1994 by a group of American Muslims in the Chicago area. Its mission is to promote the correct understanding of Islam and Muslims in the United States. It seeks to explain the moral ethical positions of Islam and Muslims to fellow Americans. The institute believes this will counter the stereotyping of Muslims and debunk the myths surroundings Muslims, Islam and the Prophet Muhammad. The institute also aspires to educate Muslim Americans about US educational system, the ways to participate in the national discourse both in and out of the political system and debunk the myths and stereotypes about Americans that are prevalent in the Muslim and immigrant communities. It has analyzed heterodoxy among Muslims to promote respect for dissent and diversity of opinions. Acting as a bridge between the Muslim and non-Muslim communities the institute hopes its efforts will allow for a healthy discourse between communities and a fruitful collaboration on many issues of common interest. The institute believes Muslims can participate constructively on national dialogue on topics like race relations, pluralism and civil liberties and have a unique perspective to offer. Additionally this bridge building will allow Muslims, in particular South Asians and Arabs, to live in dignity.

  • New Security Foundation (UK)
    The New Security Foundation exists to promote a wider understanding of the nature of modern security and its implications for civil society. The Foundation has two main objectives. The first is to conduct research into emerging security issues and to produce information and analysis, which can be made available to decision makers in both the public and private sectors. The second is to provide an international forum for debate and discussion about the nature of modern security and its implications. A network of experts with a background in academia, government, intelligence, the armed forces, the emergency services and business enables the New Security Foundation to draw on an international pool of expertise and provide an insight into emerging defence and security issues.

    The New Security Foundation was established by former British parliamentarian Dr Harold Elletson and Janis Folkmanis, economic adviser to the President of Latvia. Dr Elletson was formerly the director of the NATO Forum on Business and Security and the leader of the New Security Programme at the Centre for Defence and International Security Studies (CDISS). Janis Folkmanis is a former official of the European Commission and an expert on economic, security and energy issues affecting Eastern Europe. Both Harold Elletson and Janis Folkmanis realised that, during the last twenty years, the nature of security has changed fundamentally and civil society in Europe and elsewhere needs to think carefully about the consequences. The New Security Foundation provides both a focus for research and a forum for dialogue about key issues affecting the security of modern society.

  • Public Intelligence
    Public Intelligence is an international, collaborative research project aimed at aggregating the collective work of independent researchers around the globe who wish to defend the public’s right to access information. We operate upon a single maxim: equal access to information is a human right. We believe that limits to the average citizen’s ability to access information have created information asymmetries which threaten to destabilize democratic rule around the world. Through the control of information, governments, religions, corporations, and a select group of individuals have been able to manipulate public perception into accepting coercive agendas which are ultimately designed to limit the sovereignty and freedom of populations worldwide.
