The ThinkLink Association joins scientific rigour with practical relevance, ethical orientation and a considered spiritual dimension. Our work serves researchers, educational institutions and leaders who seek to understand complexity and shape it responsibly.
The world is in the middle of a polycrisis. Climate change, biodiversity loss, social polarisation and geopolitical tensions reinforce one another. Most existing responses remain disciplinary, technical or short-term.
We do not lack information. We lack leadership that understands complexity, accepts responsibility, and decides from a broader ethical and intellectual ground.
This is precisely where the ThinkLink Association begins.
Scientific findings are brought together with practical experience and with philosophical and cultural perspectives. We create spaces in which disciplines illuminate one another rather than exclude each other.
Capability extends beyond expertise. Orientation, judgement and a sense of responsibility are cultivated deliberately. Education becomes a place to test what works in business, politics and society.
Older wisdom traditions and philosophical schools open an additional plane of insight. Reflection and attentiveness extend intuition and ethical sensitivity beyond purely analytical categories.
The world does not need more specialists in isolated fields. It needs bridge-builders who connect knowledge and bear responsibility.— From the foreword to Volume I, Springer Nature 2025
Members of the association also give guest lectures at eleven universities in Switzerland and abroad on ethics, responsible leadership, sustainability and philosophy.
The book series Transdisciplinary Management of Ecological and Social Crises gathers international voices from science, practice and philosophy. It is edited by Prof. Dr. Mathias Schüz and Prof. Dr. René Schmidpeter and published by Springer Nature.
Members also publish regularly in textbooks, edited collections and journals, including the Journal of Sustainable Business.

The ThinkLink Association is a non-profit association registered in the Canton of Zürich and exempt from taxation. It supports institutional research, the book series at Springer Nature, international symposia and the development of the SEED Academy as the future educational arm of the association.
A partnership with ThinkLink is deliberately not a transaction. Engagements are shaped in personal conversation, adapted to each partner's concerns and time horizon, and reported in the annual statement of accounts.
The board is available for an initial, confidential conversation.
