About ASK-Solutions

ASK-Solutions is the public name of the IRADIS Foundation, a non-profit foundation registered in the Netherlands. The foundation has public-benefit objectives that arise from questions concerning knowledge, freedom, responsibility, human development, cooperation and the relationship between people, organisations and society.

The foundation grew out of longstanding ethical and philosophical study, discussion and practical experience. Recurring questions concern, among other things, consciousness and the self, knowledge and truth, desire and suffering, power and dependence, freedom and liberation, meaning, responsibility, and the ways in which people live together and knowledge is passed between people and generations.

These questions can find practical expression in different areas of everyday life. They therefore do not belong to any single field or sector. On our goals pages, we first explain in accessible language what we seek to achieve and then explore the thinking behind those goals in greater depth. In the foundation’s projects, different aspects of those goals take concrete form in specific situations.

The name IRADIS is an acronym. The name has both an official and a recursive meaning, referring to research, development and the sharing of knowledge. More about the origin of the name and the development of the foundation can be found on our history page.

The sections below provide more information about our goals and audiences, our projects and publications, ways to work with us, our history and identity, and formal and legal information about the foundation.
