Evolae’s most important mission is to continuously increase our knowledge.
Therefore we run a variety of research projects, all aimed at gaining new insights into ourselves as human beings, and into the natural world we are a part of.
Evolae Bioscience is the division performing our research projects, in cooperation with our partner organizations.
Here you can find a few examples of our recent projects:
Recent projects

Plastic Infinity
Plastic pollution is one of the most important environmental crises we currently face; as micro-plastics are currently being found inside every living creature on Earth, including our own blood, intestines and brains, this problem may be even more urgent than the climate crisis.
With this research project, Evolae wants to contribute to a durable solution for this problem, which forms a serious threat to all life on Earth.

Insight Project
To be successful, any organization needs the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. And especially in times in which changes can come quickly and unexpectantly, this capability to adapt needs to be fast and efficient.
In this research project, we first studied which elements are necessary for creating a truly learning organization. Then we designed and tested a completely new human management concept, allowing a company to update and adjust the knowledge and skill level of its employees continuously. Making this a natural part of their everyday work, instead of disrupting their workflow with repeated training and courses.

Inner Diversity (currently ongoing)
When people want to get to know themselves, or when companies want to make an optimal match between someone’s characteristics and job requirements, personality tests are often used. One example of these is the Disc-test, which is still being used by many organizations today.
Few people realize, however, that tests like these are almost a century old. (The Disc-test was developed in 1928.) And still based on many theories and conceptions, that have long since been disproven.
In recent years, a lot of new information about the human brain has become available. Brain scans, including the hundreds we made ourselves during our research projects, show how different we are on the inside. And that even small variations in our mental composition, can lead to completely different personalities – or talents.
In our Inner Diversity Project, we co-operate with several organizations to translate these new neurological discoveries into practical use. One of our goals is to create a far more complete map of human mental traits, and what these mean for people’s lives, experiences and careers. Another goal is to design a whole new kind of personality test. One that is both more advanced and more practical, for use by for example job coaches, management recruiters and HR departments.
