The Comino Foundation [1] is an Educational Trust who's work is based in England with links across the United Kingdom. Its aim is to support the achievements of groups and individuals within a prosperous and responsible society. The Foundation seeks to promote the understanding of the process of achievement, within contexts where social responsibility is actively being explored, so that through greater understanding of the nature of this process, people become:

• more focused on achievement
• more attuned to achieving successful outcomes
• more capable of achieving what they set out to achieve
• more fully equipped to realise their own potential and to serve others.

The Foundation seeks to realise its vision through a range of activities designed to:- enable people to understand the process of achieving, within a framework of their personal and social responsibility - support the development of people's potential to work for the benefit of themselves and others - encourage groups and individuals to work at building a prosperous and responsible society. These activities are carried out mainly through our network of Comino Centres, of which the Comino Centre for Personal Capability, Sheffield Hallam University is one.  Many thanks to the Comino Foundation for supporting the development of Smart Science.
