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

Famous quotes containing the word influence:
“This declared indifference, but as I must think, covert real zeal for the spread of slavery, I can not but hate. I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world ... and especially because it forces so many really good men amongst ourselves into an open war with the very fundamental principles of civil liberty.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Books, the oldest and the best, stand naturally and rightfully on the shelves of every cottage. They have no cause of their own to plead, but while they enlighten and sustain the reader his common sense will not refuse them. Their authors are a natural and irresistible aristocracy in every society, and, more than kings or emperors, exert an influence on mankind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A husband who submits to his wife’s yoke is justly held an object of ridicule. A woman’s influence ought to be entirely concealed.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
