Journal and public education - the mensa foundation promotes understanding of human intelligence through publications and public programs. The mensa research journal features leading scholarly work and recent research on intelligence. Our "excellence in" programs, including excellence in reading and excellence in science, support gifted youth and inspire a lifelong love of learning. Foundation colloquiums offer deep exploration of timely topics, sparking dialogue and new ideas, while our bi-monthly speaker series engages audiences on intelligence, giftedness, and neurodiversity. In 2025, we launched the challenge, a pitch-style competition encouraging creative, collaborative solutions to real-world issues.
