Millennium Project

Millennium Project

The WFUNA 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 funded by the US EPA, UNDP, and UNESCO, after a one year pre-feasibility study indirectly funded by the MacArthur Foundation. Since the beginning of operations in 1996, about 2,000 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 30 countries. 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. The Project is currently directed and coordinated by Jerome C. Glenn.

The Project publishes the annual State of the Future report, now in its 12th edition (2008) and containing almost 100 print pages and around 6,000 CD pages of data and analysis.
