Eudoxa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eudoxa is a Swedish think tank, formed in 2000. Eudoxa has a transhumanist, and libertarian political profile, with a focus on promoting dynamism, emerging technologies and discussing the challenges of the environment and the future. It is independent from political parties and other political and religious interest groups.
Eudoxa organizes seminars and conferences about these subjects, produces reports for corporations and organizations and promotes public debate.
