Values
At the Pattern Institute, we are guided by a set of values that reflect both our scientific rigor and our creative spirit. We embrace a grassroots approach, where inclusivity, participation, and shared ownership are central to how we work. Our structure favors adhocracy—flexible, decentralized, and responsive—enabling collaboration to flourish in dynamic environments.
We promote scientific skepticism, challenging assumptions and fostering critical inquiry as a path to innovation. Through fractional scholarship, we support flexible academic engagement, welcoming researchers who contribute alongside other life and professional commitments.
Our commitment to open science ensures that knowledge is accessible, transparent, and collaborative. We celebrate polymathy by encouraging curiosity across disciplines, and value playfulness as a source of creativity, resilience, and intellectual joy.
