The Sicomoro Foundation is a non-profit, scientifically based organisation founded in 2014, dedicated to the study of the General Theory of Systems. The General Theory of Systems is a method of knowledge that has as its starting point interdisciplinarity and a global vision of reality, which allows it to understand situations and problems from a different approach, helping to deepen the knowledge of reality.
