The Founder model

Founders are not website administrators. They are the established voices who shape the identity of Hellios, connect their publishing ecosystems to the map, and help the community discover research across channels.

The founding group

Five voices, one map

Each Founder brings a channel, a specialty and a body of research. Enter a Founder page to follow their work across the Hellios map.
