Exploring Ideas, Evidence, and Experiments That Shape How We Learn, Work, and Innovate.

We study how people learn, how technology transforms work, and how innovation strengthens national capability.

About Us
Our Approach to Research

At Future Institute, research is not a separate activity. It is part of how we design, teach, and innovate.We follow a research-through-practice model where every course, project, and partnership generates new insight into how learning, technology, and innovation drive national progress.Our work is evidence-based and collaborative, bringing together students, independent researchers, and partner institutions to explore ideas, test solutions, and share what works for a more inclusive digital future.

What We Do

We lead applied research and innovation projects that connect evidence with practice. Our work ranges from digital skills mapping and pilot programmes to public-sector innovation and data-driven education studies.Each project creates practical insight that supports transformation across government, industry, and the wider learning ecosystem.

How We Work

Our research follows a research-through-practice model, where inquiry and application happen together. We collaborate with local and international partners, using data, design, and experimentation to uncover what works in digital transformation. By involving students, independent researchers, and institutions, we make research a shared platform for discovery and progress.

What We Explore

Our research focuses on the areas most critical to the Maldives’ digital transformation. Each project contributes evidence and insight that helps shape better learning systems, stronger institutions, and a more capable workforce.
