For 2025, our program is designed around several tracks:

1. Curriculum Development – eleven teaching fellows will create courses and modules on protocol studies, blending SoP research with content with their own fields. Teaching content will be open-sourced, meaning that anyone can join the fellows in delivering protocol studies courses and modules this fall (with support from SoP). Get to know the teaching fellows and find more details about this track.
2. Workshops – pro bono corporate seminars and workshops, led by the core SoP team. We have limited capacity, but these have been successful so far. Interested in partnering? Get more information or contact us.
3. Scene-making, through protocol fiction and popular nonfiction, via Protocolized magazine, as well as affiliated writing meetups, workshops, sci-fi contests, and study groups. Want to help create new myths? Write with us.
4. Technical foundations, through a series of workshops, starting with one in Bangkok, April 21-25, in partnership with CMKL University. This track will ramp up later in the year.

Our philosophical theme for the year is accelerating order, understood as an imperative to enact and induce a creative new logic for the world through protocols. You can learn more about this them in Issue 006 of Protocolized.
