SFI's original mission was to disseminate the notion of a separate interdisciplinary research area, complexity theory referred to at SFI as "complexity science". Subsequent to the Institute's founding, a number of complexity institutes and departments were begun, including:
- The CCS at Florida Atlantic University
- The CCSR (Center for Complex Systems Research) at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign
- The CSCS at the University of Michigan
- The CSC at UC Davis
- The Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study at George Mason University
- The New England Complex Systems Institute
- The Institute Para Limes, a European initiative based in the Netherlands in Europe.
- The Centre for Research in Complex Systems (CRICS) at Charles Sturt University, Australia
- The Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems at Northwestern University

Famous quotes containing the word influence:
“Only let the North exert as much moral influence over the South, as the South has exerted demoralizing influence over the North, and slavery would die amid the flame of Christian remonstrance, and faithful rebuke, and holy indignation.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
“Imagination is always the fabric of social life and the dynamic of history. The influence of real needs and compulsions, of real interests and materials, is indirect because the crowd is never conscious of it.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“If the dignity as well as the prestige and influence of the United States are not to be wholly sacrificed, we must protect those who, in foreign ports, display the flag or wear the colors of this Government against insult, brutality, and death, inflicted in resentment of the acts of their Government, and not for any fault of their own.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
