Nexus Prima Research
Studying the foundations of civilisation beyond Earth
Nexus Prima Research investigates the knowledge, systems and technologies required for human civilisation to become self-sustaining beyond Earth—and capable of enduring across generations and worlds.
We study civilisation as an integrated system: biological, ecological, technological, economic, cultural and political.
The question is not only how humanity reaches other worlds.
The question is how civilisation can take root, endure and eventually reproduce itself.
