TRL Global Foundation is a multifaceted project and it is often very difficult to understand all the diversity at once, so here we highlight the main points:

All our work has one aim: to increase each UN member country’s CEI (TRL) Index. Our main aim is not only to calculate the index, but also through multi-stage, varied and decentralized social and financial mechanisms to allow billions of people to influence the Index

Why is it important? The higher the TRL Index, the higher the level of observance of rights and freedoms – but that is not all. We aim to explore, develop and eventually activate a set of socially and economically balanced self-regulating mechanisms. As a result, any increase in the TRL Index will indicate that a state has a comprehensive approach to solving interdisciplinary and international problems in the areas of:

– environment
– economy 4.0
– education & healthcare
– respect for rights and freedoms
– permitting creative international activity & civic engagement
real support of science and progress, in the interests of all. One of the tasks of TRL is the development of resilient, progressive societies, as well as the creation of mechanisms for these societies to transition into a group of active creators.

But more importantly, it’s not just about states, it’s about society. A self-regulating social mechanism is a people’s against a potentially dangerous imbalance in institutions and the political structure that can threaten not only an individual state but the whole world.

Components of the TRL Index.

Autonomy, decentralization and expertise.


The TRL Index is the product of numerous evaluations and reports, and compliance with international conventions. In the beta version, the TRL Index is informed by information coming from 15 organizations.

The most important element of the Index is the TRL Implementation section already developed by TRL Alliance/Science [trl-global.org/implementation]

The data and indexes of international organizations that have been refining their methods for many years, together with the TRL Implementation algorithm, allow us to create a universal interdisciplinary index. But this is only the beginning…

The TRL Index as an “Ìndex of a Civilization’s Strength” and an  “Index of a Civilization’s Development”

Turning the TRL Index into action: TRL Alliance/Science

The aim of the TRL Global Foundation is to convert the Index into tangible action and measurable progress. To do this, mechanisms have been developed to involve millions of researchers and scientists, hundreds of millions of civil activists, and indirectly the rest of the world’s population in the process.

Maximum interdisciplinarity. Thousands of scientists and researchers have unique competencies in extremely disparate areas. Our aim is to make this knowledge part of the TRL Index

The world’s most significant registration system has already been created at mind.trl-global.org and trl-certificate.org. By registering on the system, you indicate your potential interest in the TRL Index. As a civil activist (representative of citizen science), you may simply declare your preferences, but you can also work in this area and, of course, influence the TRL Index.

We are working on integrating with numerous systems, such as SCOPUS and ORCID. Soon, thanks to the developed TRL API system, you will also be able to use the TRL Certificate to 1) register and log in to various sites 2) use the “direct comments” system, which will greatly simplify communication and interaction between various sites and people

A limited part of the functionality is already available

The entire project is an independent, international undertaking: representatives of more than 50 countries are registered on the trl-certificate system, and visitors from 115 countries have used the trl-global.org website.

The TRL Index is an independent self-regulatory framework for multifaceted institutions of global governance. Join Us!

Phase 1

To engage regulatory bodies and urban planners to recognize the need for clear communication standards between AVs and cyclists.

Involve autonomous vehicle (AV) manufacturers, operators, and industry experts in the discussion from the to ensure that concerns are clearly communicated to those developing the technology.

Encourage open channels for dialogue between AV developers and cycling organizations.

Phase 2

Define clear communication protocols between AVs and cyclists: Establish standards for how AVs should signal their intentions to cyclists, including braking, turning, and lane changes.

JOIN THE CAMPAIGN


Support the the Civilization Efficiency Index and CEI_mind database — tools for uniting humanity, advancing science, and improving global governance. Your donation keeps the system running, growing, and independent.


Turn Knowledge into Action with Civilization Efficiency Index.
Find research. Take action. Make an impact.

The CEI_Mind Database isn’t just a collection of studies—it’s your toolbox for real-world change. Here’s how you can actively participate:

Launch a Campaign: Find a research paper that resonates with you and use it to start a local or global campaign. Share the results back in the CEI-system to inspire others and contribute to measurable impact.

Advocate for Change: Use the database to find studies relevant to your region or area of interest. Share these with local politicians, organizations, or companies to encourage data-driven decisions. We provide filters to match studies with specific territories or industries. Share the results back in the CEI-system to inspire others and contribute to measurable impact.

Raise Awareness: Send a study to an NGO, commercial entity, or your community with a request to pay attention. Suggest they issue a press release, publish a public statement, or incorporate the findings into their messaging to spotlight the issue. Share the results back in the CEI-system to inspire others and contribute to measurable impact.

Collaborate Globally: Work with others in the system—activists, researchers, or policymakers—to maximize the reach and impact of a study. Share the results back in the CEI-system to inspire others and contribute to measurable impact.


Once organization you’ve contacted takes action—whether it’s issuing a statement, a public interest letter, or a press release—we’ll help amplify it. These declarations, acknowledging research and potentially actionable to action, will be shared with relevant ethical organizations, advocacy groups, and mass media.

This will underscore the collective effort—yours, the organization’s, and ours—to transform scientific research into tangible actions. Additionally, we will aim to share these responses with authors of extended reports on global indices such as the UN indices, GII, GCI, EPI, and other similar initiatives, showcasing how evidence-backed efforts are making an impact.

If you know how the organization you work for—or even a small business you own—has already utilized third-party research in some way, you can immediately add it to the system with a brief comment. This contribution not only increases visibility but also supports the shared mission of driving meaningful change.


You don’t need anyone’s permission to start.

Everything is designed for you to act independently, empowered by verified knowledge. Share this platform with friends, family, and colleagues—imagine the impact if each person took just one small action for positive change!
