Coming in 1.1 along with the special project update, nations will have access to "research organizations", which are essentially scientists that start with a higher level, but do not gain experience the way regular scientists do. These present a choice for the player, do you want to use researchers with a higher level or do you want to train up low-level scientists which can eventually eclipse their organizational counterparts?

Organizations, apart from a few special cases (namely for engineering research, such as Rosatom and DARPA), are based on the MIO's present in the country. Those that are present from game start can be upgraded via the MIO, and many MIO's have an organization that can be unlocked and upgraded.

Each nation also has one "famous organization", which is effectively a superior version of the normal organizations.
