The Social Trends Institute has a 15-year history of collaborating with academic and cultural institutions of excellence. The activities STI sponsored this year reflect once again this commitment.
The Home Renaissance Foundation hosted The Home in a Digital Age to explore the effects of new technologies on personal environments. It was STI’s second joint venture with this London-based foundation that focuses on the importance of the
home as a pillar of society.
Corporate Governance and Ownership with Diverse Shareholders was another collaborative endeavor. Led by IESE’s Center for Corporate Governance, it marked the first such event since STI and IESE Business School reached an agreement to deepen their longstanding cooperation. IESE will contribute to STI’s long-term institutional development, while STI retains its mission, values and autonomous strategy, operations and organization. STI will continue to make funding available to IESE faculty as well as to other scholars with competitive projects that align with its mission.
The University of Navarra was also a partner in this year’s Master’s in Social Science Research Grants, which contribute to STI’s promise to support the young talent who will become tomorrow’s scholars. Lastly, this year, STI formalized an agreement with
the Saxum Foundation regarding collaboration for the Holy Land Dialogues series.
STI is thankful to have such fruitful relationships with these and other important institutions around the world.
