“Ultimately, we are committed to inspiring wonder and excitement about the world around us. The origins project focuses on celebrating knowledge, skeptical inquiry, and creativity. By doing so, we hope to help provide broader a perspective for dealing with the challenges of the 21st century.”

“The foundation seeks to explore and explain pivotal developments across the full spectrum of human culture to inspire scientists and the public to address the most pressing local and global intellectual and policy issues. We do this in part by helping build an informed citizenry equipped to play a part in changing the world. Origins foundations will accomplish this through: 1. The origins podcast: hosted by lawrence krauss, the podcast brings leading figures in science, the arts, economics, law, journalism, and public policy together for unique, wide ranging, in-depth conversations about important topics designed to engage, ignite curiosity, and inspire action. 2. Origins events: the origins project foundation creates compelling, unique public events with an unprecedented set of thought leaders from across the intellectual and creative spectra for enlighting, and provocative discussions on a wide range of social issues. In addition, the foundation also organizes international travel experiences that together like-minded people to explore important issues see the impact of those issues through the eyes of local cultures and communities. 3. Origins travel: origins travel adventures provide unparalleled access for small groups to visit sites of great historical significance and natural wonders as well as interact with the people who are at the forefront of discoveries and ideas. The itineraries include visits to places that are not accessible to the public, such as laboratories, research sites, and feature lectures by special guest speakers who are directly involved with making ground-breaking discoveries and changing the way people view themselves and their surroundings. The adventures attract a diverse goup of fascinating people from around the world and the conversations amongst new friends on these journeys add a richnessto the overall experience that many origins travelers describe as 'transformational'. We are accomplishing this goal by three main efforts. (1) public events at which we connect major thought leaders to the public, (2) producing the origins podcast, with regular guests from science, politics, literature, and the arts, (3) travel experiences, allowing participants in depth opportunities to interact with major thought leaders.”
