§ SYFERS · A RESEARCH FRAMEWORK

A method for asking whether a settlement, project, or organisation is operating within its means.

syfers.eu is where the SYFERS framework is published, where federation Labs land their research, and where the federation’s instruments are introduced as implementations of the framework. Not a certification. Not a label. A method.

02FOR FEDERATION LABS

A surface that holds your Practice.

Every Lab in the federation publishes against the same Charter and uses the same four instruments. The site introduces the framework each Lab works against.

03FOR PARTNERS

A research counterpart, not a vendor.

The federation works with policy counterparts, research institutions, and partners with technical depth. The terms of engagement are spelled out and citeable.

INSTRUMENTS

Four instruments, one method.

Each instrument is governed under one pillar of the framework. Three live on syfers.eu; people lives on the federation portal.
