ABOUT US
DIOTIMA INSTITUTE
A research institute exploring the nature of the present epistemic, technological, cultural, social transition - perhaps the deepest in history.
The purpose is an in-depth investigation to develop new concepts, models and systems:
-
to accelerate and support the change of paradigm
-
to exploit the huge potential of the Knowledge Society
-
to enhance the value of cognitive, environmental and socio-economic assets.
DI develops specific partnerships to this aim, supporting the actors of society and the economy - people, communities, businesses, knowledge institutions, government institutions – along their transformation paths.
DIOTIMA SOCIETY (ASSOCIATION)
An open no-profit association with members and ambassadors all around the world, to disseminate and experiment new concepts, as well as to promote initiatives and projects of systemic innovation.
Diotima Houses are local meeting hubs, where emerging issues can shape new initiatives and partnerships.

A GLOBAL NETWORK
The world generated by the digital techno-economy opens new paths to reach sustainability goals - and much more beyond. This new world is nonetheless appearing fragmented and disrupted if seen through old models and governed by old intermediation structures. The Diotima path toward innovative intermediation starts from a long and wide experience on open systems and is based on an epistemology of VALUE which is consistent with the archetypal idea of BEAUTIFUL.
This path requires CONSENSUS, therefore PARTNERSHIP, and continuous EXPERIMENTATION, through cutting-edge, challenging PROJECTS.
Questions are more important than answers. The D-World is a converging diversity of cultures, experiences, and of course places; as multiple viewpoints are the conditions to draw maps of new scenarios and catch strategic questions.
DIOTIMA HOUSES are created in cities and territories to be the local meeting hubs, where emerging issues can give shape to new initiatives.
