Mini Trip report: Paris

This was an excellent joint meeting of the European Nodes of The Millennium Project and the European Regional Foresight College (ERFC), which joined forces to create “Foresight Europe.” Blaz Golob, Chair of The Millennium Project’s South East European Node was acclaimed by the group as its President and Cornelia Daheim, Chair of the German Node of the Millennium Project as its Vice President. ERFC will be disbanded and its members will be part of Foresight Europe. Ibon Zugasti will continue as chair of the European Union Millennium Project Nodes Initiative, but seems it would become part of Foresight Europe. This new TransInstitutional network would part of The Millennium Project, but independent at the same time, just as RIBER for Ibibio American Network formed during Millennium Project Planning Committee Meeting in the Dominican Republic last July.

The first day was held at UNESCO: Ambassador Hector Casanueva, member of the Chilean Node and now Chilean Ambassador to the WTO and others Geneva, Switzerland gave talk about European-Latin American relations and potentials for collaboration. I gave an update on my relations with the European Commission’s Innovation, Research and Higher Education 2050 Scenarios group and the presentation on Future technology I will give there in a couple of days. MP Node chairs give updates on their work and plans for the coming year. The second day focused more on EFRC and creating Foresight Europe.
