Mission
To advance global understanding of human connection through interdisciplinary research, policy analysis, and ethical innovation.
To generate data, frameworks, and evidence-driven insights that help governments, educational systems, technology companies, and health organizations design policies and platforms that protect, empower, and expand intimacy, wellbeing, and digital sexual literacy.
We bridge gaps between social work, public health, psychology, technology, AI, and sexual wellbeing industries to produce research and policy that reduces harm, promotes equity, and builds a safer, more informed digital and relational future for all.
Vision
To establish human connection as a globally recognized pillar of public health, digital rights, and social policy.
We envision a future in which:
- governments adopt comprehensive intimacy and sexual health literacy policies,
- tech and AI systems are designed with ethical intimacy frameworks,
- adult media and sextech industries integrate evidence-based standards,
- schools teach relational and digital wellbeing as core competencies,
- research on intimacy is funded, legitimized, and embedded across disciplines,
- and communities can engage in healthy, inclusive, and stigma-free conversations about intimacy, sex, technology, and wellbeing.
