FQXI

Founded in 2006 by Professor Max Tegmark and Professor Anthony Aguirre, the Foundational Questions Institute, FQxI, is an independent grant-making agency and think-tank which provides support for blue skies research in the physical sciences. FQxI has awarded over US$29 million in grants to researchers around the globe to work on issues ranging from the origin of the arrow of time in quantum gravity to the nature of consciousness... At FQxI, we encourage this thinking and these lines of discovery. We stand in contrast to most research organizations whose primary focus is on short-term returns on narrow $elds of work. FQxI encourages the unconventional and often interdisciplinary methods required to develop and comprehend prospective revolutions in physics and cosmology.
