Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the Widmore Institute?

The Widmore Institute is a non-profit research institute providing an ideal environment for independent researchers to study and collaborate. 

How is the Institute funded?

The Institute is fully funded by The Widmore Group of Companies. All costs and expenses relating to the building, maintenance, staffing, accommodation and activities are paid for by a fund created by The Widmore Group.

How can I use the Institute?

Because the Institute is fully funded and we do not charge for membership or for any costs associated with your stay, the Institute must restrict members in order to ensure that costs are maintained within our yearly budget. Although this approach means that you cannot just walk in to the Institute, we feel it provides opportunities for independent researchers to utilize the Institute at no cost, where other institutes cater more to the financially well off. The Widmore Institute does not accept donations and does not give preference based on financial status. In order to be accepted as a member of the Institute, you must either be invited by the Board, or be accepted by the Board based on your research / study submission. 

What is a Research / Study Submission?

In order to be accepted as a member, you must submit to us via email, a detailed plan for your individual research or study. The submission MUST include your specific goals, area of study, and potential benefits of the research. It  MUST also include a biography section describing your background and any previous research or accomplishments. Submissions will be reviewed monthly by the Board, and successful candidates will be notified that they have been selected as an Institute Member.  Submit your Research / Study Submission to:  info@thewidmoreinstitute.com  Please note that due to the huge demand, the number of successful candidates is extremely limited.  Submissions that are incomplete or not detailed will not be considered.
