Working towards an independent structure for evidence-based drug education, harm reduction and public education.
Synapedia Foundation is currently a formation project within Synapedia. No separate tax-privileged or charitable legal entity exists. Neither incorporation nor tax authority recognition has been completed. No payments are accepted.
01 / Three pillars
Open access, understandable risks and traceable quality belong together. These three pillars guide the planned work.

Communicate harm reduction, interactions and uncertainty clearly. Essential safety knowledge should remain accessible.
Planned: deepen interaction evidence and develop educational resources.
Learn moreDevelop traceable quality
Literature work, expert review and documented data as a basis for future collaboration.
Planned: prepare review procedures and literature maps.

Concrete plans, explicitly labelled as planned. Existing platform work is not Foundation achievement.
A traceable review process for high-impact substance information, with sources, responsibilities and documented corrections.
Explore the planExpand substance-specific evidence on interactions and communicate uncertainty clearly. Class-based assumptions should remain identifiable.
Explore the planFreely accessible knowledge with understandable source information and clear limits, without barriers to essential safety information.
Explore the plan03 / Transparency as a foundation
Legal status, funding and responsibility remain to be clarified. We show outstanding requirements without claiming existing recognition or structures.
Visit the transparency centreFuture impact figures should be traceable to sources, measurement dates and verification. No publishable Foundation metrics are available yet.
Our measurement principles04 / A clear relationship
Target structure — not yet legally implemented
The following branches describe a proposal. It transfers no ownership and creates no existing legal entity.
↳ Public-interest work — proposed
Goal: education, harm reduction and responsible knowledge infrastructure. A gUG is a recommendation subject to professional review. Alternatives are a gGmbH or cooperation with an existing charitable project sponsor.
↳ Commercial activities — proposed separate operation
Technology, product development and commercial offerings where applicable. Separate accounts, budgets, contracts and decisions are proposed. The legal form and any IP agreements remain unresolved.
The Foundation currently names a planned public-interest area within Synapedia. Legal separation has not been implemented. Synapedia’s existing operator and privacy information applies to these pages.

The proposal includes founder-led operational management, expert advice, interest declarations and documented review processes. These structures have not yet been established.
Responsibilities, decision-making and a future leadership structure are to be documented publicly. The existing operator information applies until then.
