The Institute
The Institute of Tangible Governance
The Govonos Institute is a Didaskaleion: a pre-academic space where a new discipline is born. It embodies Tangible Governance as a structuring field, outside classical institutional logic. Its mission is to produce conceptual, normative and measurable tools to move from theoretical morality to applied ethics.
Founder
Founded in Geneva by Pascal Berchem, Govonos is the first Institute of Tangible Governance.
The Institute
Legal and academic structure dedicated to the formalization of tangible governance as a discipline.
Research Laboratory
An independent space for research, analysis and production of measurable normative models.
Govonos works to put governance back at the service of meaning, and consciousness at the heart of decision-making.
Research Areas
Areas of applied research
Consciousness Studies
Study the mechanisms of awareness, responsibility and decision-making in governance contexts.
Applied contractual ethics
Transform moral values into measurable action protocols, applicable to contracts, regulations, and codes of conduct.
Behavioral Psychology

Humanities

Engaging dialogue with society

The Institute organizes conferences, seminars, and publications to facilitate dialogue between the academic world, decision-makers, and civil society.
