THE MILLENNIUM
PROJECT
GLOBAL
FUTURES STUDIES & RESEARCH
The Millennium Project of the American Council for the United Nations
University is a global participatory futures research think tank of futurists,
scholars, business planners, and policy makers who work for international
organizations, governments, corporations, NGOs, and universities. The Millennium
Project manages a coherent and cumulative process that collects and assesses
judgements from its several hundred participants to produce the annual
"State
of the Future", "Futures
Research Methodology" series, and special studies such as the Future
Scenarios for Africa, Lessons
of History, Environmental
Security, Applications
of Futures Research to Policy, and a 300+ annotated scenario bibliography.
It connects local and global perspectives via eleven regional Nodes
(groups
of individuals and institutions) in Aspendale (Australia); Beijing (China);
Buenos Aires (Argentina); Cairo (Egypt); London (U.K.); Madurai (India);
Moscow (Russia); Olomouc (Czech Republic); Rome (Italy); Tehran (Iran);
and Tokyo (Japan). The Millennium Project was selected among the "100 Best
Practices" by UN Habitat, best 7 foresight organizations by Battelle Northwest
for the US Dept. of Energy, and among the "Top Picks" by Future Survey,
of the World Future Society.
The purpose of the Millennium Project is to be an international utility
to assist in organizing futures research by continuously updating and improving
humanity's thinking about the future and making that thinking available
for feedback as a geographically and institutionally dispersed think tank.
The Millennium Project is a gift from our millennium to the next.
