The new international report on the future has been published by the Millennium Project, which is a network of 35 Nodes (groups of futurists and organizations) around the world – among them one in Cairo. This Project collects, feeds back, and assesses insights from creative and knowledgeable people on emerging crises, opportunities, strategic priorities, and the feasibility of actions.
The “2010 State of the Future” distills – as the publishers tell us – the collective intelligence of over 2,700 leading scientists, futurists, scholars, and policy advisors who work for governments, corporations, non-governmental organizations, universities, and international organizations. The editors and major authors of this report are the leading future researchers Jerome C. Glenn, Theodore J. Gordon, and Elizabeth Florescu.

The Millennium Project, an international network of future researchers which is supported by the UN-University Foundation and other institutions is one of the leading innovators with regards to designing, developing or practicing new methods in the future field. Its latest activity is the launching of a method, which has been invented some 20 years ago, but with the development and dissemination of computers with higher capacities it now can be used much easier and more eloquent: the RealTimeDelphi. |

Despite the spreading talk about “the future” at the same time there are only very few places where interested people can learn and study this specific discipline and receive a degree. There are two very positive developments in this regard in Germany.
First, a Masters Program at the prestigious Free University of Berlin will start in September 2010. During four semesters, students will receive a Masters title from the department. Headed by Prof. Gerhard de Haan and supported by the Network Future Research (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) almost two dozens of future research experts will participate in that program as lecturers and teachers. It will provide a broad spectrum of topics to the students, starting from historical views on the roots of thinking about the future, to Science Fiction, concepts and methods of Future Research.
