The Institute's research programs include a steady stream of visiting scientists who are in residence anywhere from a few days to a few months. The Institute hosts more than one hundred such visitors annually.

SFI is a "bottom-up" organization; that is, our connections to the external world are made primarily through our researchers rather than the administration. As such, potential visitors should first make contact with appropriate SFI research colleagues and once productive collaborations are under way, a research visit may be considered.
