Sunstone Institute
Who We Are
The Sunstone Institute is a global data research institute. We conduct data-driven studies on humanity's greatest threats and find compelling ways to tell the stories.
Our mission is to show the world as it really is, and inspire action everywhere.
What we do
Our team of data scientists and journalists synthesise fragmented public data to surface hidden patterns and hold power to account. We aim to equip decision-makers across policy, media and civil society with clear, actionable insight to make informed decisions for the public good.
Our work is funded through philanthropy. Our team adheres to ethical codes to ensure our work is independent and rigorous.
Our name comes from the sunstone of Viking legend, a guiding crystal said to reveal the sun’s position even on the cloudiest days at high seas. The Sunstone Institute helps leaders and citizens around the world to navigate uncharted waters.
