Ecolonical Lab: A Fusion of Vision and Open Science

 

Welcome to Ecolonical Lab, where our name embodies our ethos and vision. “Ecolonical” is not just a word but a concept, a philosophy that drives our mission to address the world’s most pressing ecological, urban, and social challenges through innovative research and data analytics.

 

Ecolonical: The Etymology

Derived from the fusion of prefixes and suffixes, the term “Ecolonical” breaks down into:

  • Eco- (i.e., environment, house): Representing our commitment to the environment and the ecological systems that house all forms of life.
  • Holon- (i.e., the whole and the parts): Signifying our approach to understanding and addressing the complex interdependencies between the whole system and its individual components.
  • -ic or -ical (i.e., concerning or relating to): Indicating our focus and relation to these critical and interconnected fields.
