Advancing evidence-based policies to reduce inequality and create a world where one's future is not determined at birth. | SERI was founded with the explicit purpose of identifying and promoting evidence-based policies that help reduce the exacerbation of inequality at a time of severe health and socioeconomic disruption to our communities. We are not constricted by ideological or race-based straightjackets and strongly believe that democratising access to opportunity, preserving the environment, and harnessing the power of technology will provide a solution to many of the issues that plague our society. Finding ways to live in better harmony with ourselves, our planet and technology will be keys that unlock a more equitable future for everyone.
