International Philanthropic Innovators Foundation

IPIF AIMS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL IN FOUR MAJOR WAYS: (A) A MAJOR LESSON LEARNED IN THE 20TH CENTURY IS THAT SEGMENTATION OF KNOWLEDGE INTO DISCRETE AREAS OF INQUIRY LIMITS THE POTENTIAL OF ANY FIELD TO DESCRIBE AND RESPOND TO THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE NATURAL WORLD. A CIVILIZATION OF TRUE PROSPERITY FOR ALL CITIZENS CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE INTERGRATED RESEARCH OF MANY FIELDS - SCIENCE, MEDICINE, EDUCATION, POLITICS, ECONOMICS, AGRICULTURE, RELIGION, AND SO ON. TOWARD THIS END, IPIF PLANS INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCES ON CROSS-CUTTING THEMES RELATED TO PROBLEMS FACING THE WORLD TODAY, SUCH AS FOOD SAFETY AND AGRICULTURE. THESE CONFERENCES WILL NOT FOLLOW THE TRADITIONAL CONFERENCE FORMAT OF PRESENTING INFORMATION TO UNTRAINED AUDIENCES, BUT RATHER IPIF INTENDS TO IMPLEMENT ANOTHER MODEL IN WHICH EXPERTS ARE CHOSEN FROM DISPARATE FIELDS TO DISCUSS ISSUES PLANNED BY THE PLANNING COMMITTEE AND DEVELOP ALTERNATIVES AND SOLUTIONS FOR PRESENTATION TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH PUBLICATIONS.
