  • All you need in Opasnet is science ... and love.
  • What you need in love is not only science and Opasnet. Thus, love is the most difficult thing of the three.

  • Opasnet is for finding out the truth and utilising that in making good decision.

  • Opasnet - The interface between science, policy, and stakeholders.

Slogans for Heande (Opasnet project site)

  • Read it here. Use it here. Publish it together. (This means that people are encouraged to read and use information they see in Heande. They are encouraged to collaborate with other researchers using Heande. But always when someone wants to publish anything from Heande, he/she must negotiate with everyone involved in developing that piece of information. You are not allowed to take information and use it elsewhere without an explicit permission from the Heande community.)

Miscellaneous

  • It is not enough to prepare our children for the world; We must also prepare the world for our children. - Luis J. Rodriguez
  • It is possible to imagine a world where everyone gets what rightfully belongs to them based on their own deeds, and where all sins are fairly punished. However, when we observe the real world, we can inevitably see that it is fortunately not such a cruel place.
  • The whole existing culture is given to us for free, without any credit from ourselves. Therefore, whatever we achieve, is almost entirely dependent on what we have received from others. How could we demand credit for that? At least, not based on justice. Therefore, we are obliged to give for free things that we have been given for free. We cannot pay back what we have received; we must pay it forward.
