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:
“No power on earth or above the bottomless pit has such influence to terrorize and make cowards of men as the liquor power. Satan could not have fallen on a more potent instrument with which to thrall the world. Alcohol is king!”
—Eliza “Mother” Stewart (1816–c. 1908)
“Under the influence of fear, which always leads men to take a pessimistic view of things, they magnified their enemies’ resources, and minimized their own.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
“Just what is the civil law? What neither influence can affect, nor power break, nor money corrupt: were it to be suppressed or even merely ignored or inadequately observed, no one would feel safe about anything, whether his own possessions, the inheritance he expects from his father, or the bequests he makes to his children.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
