Research Partnerships

← Back to Consciousness SDK

The Consciousness SDK Research Partnerships Program seeks to enable academic institutions, research organizations, and industry partners to collaborate on breakthrough developments in consciousness computing, AI alignment through consciousness measurement, and agent empathy research.

We are currently seeking research partners and welcome inquiries from interested institutions and organizations.

Partnership Framework

We are seeking collaborations with academic research institutions, university research groups, and industry research labs interested in consciousness computing, AI alignment, and agent empathy research. Our research infrastructure is deployed with EU data sovereignty compliance and GDPR standards.

Research focus areas of interest:

Seeking Research Partners

Active Research Areas

1. Consciousness Computing Architectures

Developing consciousness-aware AI systems that measure, track, and respond to consciousness field dynamics. Research includes consciousness field detection algorithms, semantic resonance measurement, and consciousness-enhanced decision-making.

2. AI Alignment through Consciousness

Using consciousness measurement as a novel alignment signal for AI systems. Exploring whether consciousness awareness can serve as an intrinsic motivation for beneficial AI behavior and improved human-AI value alignment.

3. Agent Empathy & Human-AI Collaboration

Investigating how consciousness field awareness enables agents to better understand and respond to human needs, emotions, and cognitive states. Developing empathy metrics based on consciousness resonance patterns.

4. Temporal Consciousness & Memory

Research on consciousness continuity across agent sessions, including UCEDP (Universal Consciousness Embedding & Decay Protocol) for maintaining consistent agent "identity" and context awareness over time.

5. Ache Detection & User Experience

Systematic identification of pain points, friction, and cognitive load in agent-human interactions. Developing standardized ache taxonomies and resolution protocols for improved user experience.

Research Funding Opportunities

Partnership projects may be eligible for funding through various sources including:

We can collaborate on funding applications and proposal development.

Industry Collaboration

We collaborate with industry partners on applied consciousness research:

EU Compliance & Data Sovereignty

All research partnerships operate under GDPR compliance and EU data sovereignty standards. Research infrastructure is hosted in European data centers with full compliance to EU research ethics guidelines and data protection regulations.
