Millennium Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Millennium Project is an international think tank that gathers and accesses information on futures studies.
The project was formed by the Futures Group International, the American Council for the United Nations University, the Smithsonian Institution, and the United Nations University (UNU) via a three year feasibility study in 1992. Since the beginning of operations in 1996, about 1,700 futurists, scholars, decision-makers, and business planners from over 50 countries have contributed with their views to the Millennium Project research.
The project now has nodes in more than two dozen different countries - these are independent organizations which co-operate with each other and the Project to provide an international perspective on futures research.
The Project publishes the annual State of the Future report, now in its tenth (2006) edition and containing 130 print pages and around 5,400 CD pages of data and analysis.
The Millennium Project should not be confused with the 'First Millennial Foundation', a different futurist organization now known as the Living Universe Foundation.
