Our Key Initiatives

Research Institutes

At the heart of KASRA's mission is establishing dedicated research institutes for applied sciences. We are building environments where researchers lead their own work — choosing their own topics, setting their own pace, and pursuing independent scientific inquiry.

The institutes we envision are not built on rigid hierarchies, but on trust and autonomy among researchers. Each institute will have its own direction, while sharing resources and experiences within the broader KASRA community.

The Institutes We Envision

  • Governance structures that protect researcher autonomy and independence
  • A culture driven by ideas and capability, not affiliation
  • Resource sharing across institutes and cross-disciplinary collaboration
  • Mentoring and support systems that help early-career researchers thrive
  • Open research hubs with world-class scientific capability

Where We Are

KASRA is currently preparing to establish its first research institute. We are working through each step — from selecting research focus areas and assembling core teams, to securing facilities. Researchers who share our vision are welcome to join us on this journey.
