The Geftas Research Institute conducts research on the interconnectedness between two essential domains: human and social systems
Our Human Potential Model explores the constitutive dimensions of individual prosperity—health, autonomy, and fulfilment.
Our Systems Model examines complex systems and the systemic externalities that individuals internalize, assessing their capacity to catalyze the expression of human potential. We analyze these systems based on their effectiveness as vectors for actualization.
Human
Potential

Systems
Sciences
Objective
To pioneer innovative approaches in Systems Sciences that enhance our understanding of complex systems and their influence on human potential.
