1 0 th Anniversary Memorandum Fostering Understanding

2 Fostering Understanding The Social Trends Institute (STI) is an independent, non-profit research institute that offers institutional and financial support to academics in all fields who seek to make sense of emerging social trends and their effects on human communities. STI focuses its research efforts on four subject areas: Family, Bioethics, Culture & Lifestyles, and Corporate Governance. STI organizes Experts Meetings, which bring together scholars to present and discuss their original research in an academic forum. These meetings are intended to foster open intellectual dialogue between scholars from all over the world and with different academic backgrounds, disciplines and beliefs. STI s sole aim is to promote research and scholarship of the highest academic standards. In doing so, it hopes to make a scholarly contribution towards understanding the varying and complex social trends that are shaping the modern world.
