Mini Trip Report: Brussels

The European Union Chapter of the Club of Rome invited me to speak at the 87th Aurelio Peccei Lecture & Dialogue-Enquiries on the Challenges of the 21st Century http://www.clubofrome.eu/spip.php?page=courrier&id_courrier=49 initiated by Philippe Destatte, Chairman of The Millennium Project ‘s European Millennium Project Nodes Initiative (EuMPI). The Brussels Launch of the Global Futures Intelligence System http://millennium-project.org/millennium/GFIS.html was so well received that the chairman of the EU Chapter of the Club of Rome has asked to collaborate closer with The Millennium Project and become a member of the EuMPI Node.

The following morning I had a delightful breakfast and conversation with Tony Judge, one of the early founders of the World Futures Studies Federation, and leading author of the world encyclopedia of world problems. Among many things, we discussed the difficulties, if not impossibilities, of peoples’ (and especially leaders’) understanding of complex interdependent issues.

Next stop Paris.

Futuristically yours,

Jerome C. Glenn, CEO
