Scientific institutes

Initially developed and funded in the 1970s by the European Union to rival MIT, the European Institution of Scientific Thinking was spun out to an independent organisation in the early 2000s.

Today, EIST is the crown-jewel in the European scientific community and focuses on a wide range of scientific advancements.

The SCA was spun up out of an unlikely partnership between the US government and a billionaire that wanted to see science practised solely for humanity and not commercial gain.

SCA has been operating for three decades now and continues to focus a large amount of effort and energy on non-profit science.

The Union of African Sciences works diligently to ensure the continent remains competitive in the scientific world and ensures Africans are able to learn, grow and harness new technologies as they are developed.

The UAS sees itself as part of the global scientific elite and regularly cooperates on global projects spanning borders.

Initially the brainchild of an ailing Saudi royal, the ISF has grown to be a self-sufficient scientific behemoth.

Focusing on many industries from energy to the burgeoning Middle Eastern space flight capability, ISF’s primary interest is driven by researching new and improved energy sources.

Initially created as a Chinese state owned organisation, the government could see the potential of spinning the institute out completely as its own entity.

From 2013 onwards, OIS is now a self-funded institute that happens to be located in China. Some whispers in the scientific community say its research is an extension of the Chinese government, but this is strenuously denied.
