Are you working on today's nature-society challenges, while reimagining the systems that caused them?

The Exploration Co-Lab is an alternative incubator for edge-walkers: innovators with an ambition for all life on Earth to thrive, but whose work doesn't fit into neat boxes. Over 10-months, we offer thinking space, cohort-based learning, and the customised support that radical ideas need.

This open call is for initiatives addressing root-cause issues in humanity’s relationship with nature. We are looking to support visionary work that goes beyond incremental fixes. Are you shifting underlying worldviews with radical new paradigms? Are you challenging institutional mechanisms built on commodification, anthropocentrism, or coloniality? Or deepening relationships with the more-than-human world through imaginative thinking?

If you are operating at this level of depth and possibility, we would love to hear from you. Applications are open from 15 September to 16 November 2026.
