Abbreviation MP Type NGO Legal status Association Purpose/focus Futurology Headquarters Virtual Space Region served Worldwide Executive directors Jerome C. Glenn, Theodore J. Gordon, and Elizabeth Florescu Website millennium-project.org/index.html The Millennium Project [1] is an independent international think tank with 40[2] "nodes" around the world that gathers and accesses information on futures studies that produces the annual State of the Future report since 1997 and the Futures Research Methodology series Versions 1-3.
The Project was formed by the Futures Group International, , the Smithsonian Institution via a three year feasibility study in 1992 funded by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, United Nations Development Programme, and UNESCO. Since the beginning of operations in 1996, about 2,700 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 38 countries and 2 others are global/functional nodes: Cyber Node and the Arts/Media Node. These are independent organizations (composed of both organizations and individuals from different institutional categories - government, corporations, NGOs, universities, individuals, and UN or international organizations - which acts like a transinstitution) which co-operate with each other and the Project to provide an international perspective on futures research.
