The Illuminated Reason Institute
The Development of Reason and Rationality (DORR) Institute (it's pleonastic but it sounds nice; could just use one of the Rs)
The Course Corrective Institute
The Moreright Institute
The Better Life Institute
(It'd be so much easier if it could have a German name.)
Too long-winded and pompous.
Which one? All of them?
Edit: Shouldn't be any worries about having a long name where you can used an acronym. E.g., SETI (Search for extraterrestrial intelligence) institute.
The "The Whatever Institute" structure in general.
I got that structure from googling <* institute>... There's also The Institute for * structure
What would you name it if you could use German.
I didn't have any specific examples in mind, I was just referring to how easily and meaningfully you can combine words in German to form a new word. See Rinderkennzeichnungs- und Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz.
