# Overview

### Nexus Guilds overview

Nexus Guilds connect Future Innovation Labs to council governance across critical sectors.

Each guild defines research methods, resilience priorities, governance requirements, and non-executing outputs.

This overview maps council governance for each innovation guild.

It covers work, energy, media, health, sports, space, education, finance, society, water, food, and web.

It highlights mandates, risk focus, safeguards, and artifact-first outputs.

* **Future Innovation Labs** organize sector-specific research and foresight.
* **Guilds** convert that work into governed methods, standards, and public-safe outputs.
* **Council governance** defines primary oversight and required co-governance.

See [Ecosystem](/organization/cooperation/nexus-guilds/ecosystem.md) for the wider structure.

See [Membership](/organization/cooperation/nexus-guilds/membership.md) for participation context.
