Welcome to The Keystone Center
Description edit
Albert Einstein once said that solving the big problems we now face cannot be done with the same kind of thinking that got us into those problems. By following our timeline, which explores The Keystone Center’s 30-year history, you will see just how right Einstein was. For three decades, The Keystone Center has brought diverse thought leaders to the table to solve stubborn policy issues and, through our sophisticated science education programs for teachers and students, has been steadily preparing the next generation for the same critical thinking that Einstein alluded to.
Robert W. Craig, The Keystone Center’s founder, put it this way, “In general, I believe it can be said that successes in one sector of policy conflict and deliberation led to our being invited into other problem areas. What has and still does distinguish The Keystone Center has been its ability to select and have at the table the best representatives of all parties at interest in a particular issue and to assure that the dialogues that emerge are kept honest by the discipline of the best science and technological knowledge underlying that issue.”
In June 2005, in celebration of our 30th Anniversary, The Keystone Center hosted a symposium in Washington, DC on “Political Courage and Bridge-Building.” Senators Larry Craig (R-Idaho) and Ron Wyden (D-Oregon);Representatives Nancy Johnson (R-Connecticut) and Ed Case (D-Hawaii) joined National Public Radio’s Washington Editor Ron Elving and the Heritage Foundation’s John Hulsman to debate the very themes that TKC has personified for so many years. “Information is what drives people to work together,” said Nancy Johnson. “It is political glue.” To which Senator Wyden added, “Bipartisanship is more alive than we know but less visible than it has ever been. That visibility is crucial if faith in our democracy is to be maintained.”
