About Us
The Keystone Center seeks to solve our society’s most challenging environmental, energy, and public health problems. We bring together today’s public, private and civic sector leaders to confront these issues and we arm the next generation with the 21st Century intellectual and social skills required to effectively approach the questions they will face. Founded in 1975 by Robert W. Craig, the Center is a non-profit organization headquartered in Keystone, Colorado with offices in Denver, Washington, Boston, and Santa Fe.
Keystone Center for Science & Public Policy
The Center for Science and Public Policy convenes leaders in the public, private, and civic sectors to solve problems and advance good public policy through neutral, independently organized, and well-managed discussions. In a society faced with increasingly complex issues, we are proud to be a leader in facilitating collaborative scientific and policy deliberations.
Our staff brings unique and diverse knowledge, tools, and experience to its three primary areas of focus: energy, health, and the environment.
Assisted by expert science, careful convening, and skilled process design and management, we promote cooperative solutions with an eye toward creating enduring agreements and improved relationships through dialogue and consensus-based decision making. The results of this exciting and challenging work are tangible actions, new partnerships, and reduced conflict.
At the Center for Education, comprised of Keystone Science School and our Keystone Educational Excellence Programs, we work with students, teachers, and our community to stimulate critical thinking through hands-on, scientific inquiry. We are committed to increasing awareness and understanding of the natural world – and to provide learners of all ages and abilities with the very best skills needed to investigate and resolve complex problems. Compelled by a sincere dedication to providing participants with powerful educational experiences, we help prepare today’s students to be tomorrow’s leaders.
Message from Peter Adler, President and CEO
The essence of The Keystone Center's work is this: The environment, energy and health challenges we collectively face are escalating. Our senior mediators are bringing leaders together to solve those issues, and our educators are arming the next generation of leaders—the ones now in intermediate and high school—with the requisite skills they will need to solve those problems. There are a lot of good mediators out there, and a lot of good educators. Nobody else has put those two missions and skill sets to work under the same roof. Keystone has!
