Recent News
The Millennium Project is a global participatory think tank founded in 1996 under the American Council for the United Nations University. It became independent in 2009 and has since grown to 72 Nodes worldwide.
The Millennium Project connects futurists around the globe to collaborate on improving global foresight.
Purpose
Improve humanity’s prospects for building a better future.
Mission
Improve thinking about the future and make that thinking available through a variety of media for feedback to accumulate wisdom about the future for better decisions today.
Vision
To create a global foresight network of Nodes, information, and software — a collective intelligence system recognized for its ability to improve humanity’s future prospects. The Millennium Project is a think tank for the benefit of all humanity — not for a specific government, issue, or ideology, but for building a better future for everyone.
About The Millennium Project Nodes
A Millennium Project Node is a self-organizing group of institutions and individuals recognized by the Millennium Project. Each Node helps facilitate the Project’s research or conducts its own research to support the Project’s goals.
Nodes identify emerging global issues and opportunities, explore potential solutions, and develop methods to carry out this research.
Each Millennium Project Node:
- Takes the lead responsibility for a specific geographic area or topic.
- Has access to all Millennium Project resources, including staff, the information system, international panels, and other Nodes, to fulfill its responsibilities.
- Selects its own Chair, who manages the Node’s work and communicates with the Project’s coordinating office.
