Minneapolis July 2007A Follow up on Last ReportA In our last report to the Planning Committee (July 06) our main priorities were: To organise and host the WFSF biennial conference successfully in SA; and To conduct a research project on the role of public scenarios in the transition in SA. These projects were in addition to the normal Millennium Project work undertaken for the MP in SA (participate in Delphis, distribute SoF etc). Q0Z20Z20Z2QC'C CHCCCCbT          Conference A  In the course of 2007 is became clear that the WFSF (World Future Studies Federation) and the SA Node were simply not on the same hymn sheet regarding this Conference. It was thus decided not to proceed with the WFSF conference. The SA Node is now organising its own futures conference. This will take place near Cape Town, SA, on 5 to 8 November 2007 with the theme of building futures intelligence capacity for growth and development.0Z2C.    Conference (cont)A GThe Conference is financially supported by the SA govt; the Finnish Embassy in SA and the Oppenheimer Memorial Trust. It is hosted in partnership with the Institute for Futures Research at the Univ of Stellenbosch. It will be the first of its kind in Africa. The Finland and SA Nodes will meet bi-laterally during Conference.H0Z-HAt2  $   \     r   Conference - InvitationA Jerome Glenn and Jerome Bind (Unesco) have been invited as key note speakers. The SA Node wishes to invite the Planning Committee to consider holding its next meeting in SA in conjunction with the Conference; and attend the Conference. 02CH     State of the FutureA In July 2006 we reported that the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) uses the 15 Global Challenges in their Public Management and Development Programme. As from 2007 the Institute for Futures Research (IFR) incorporated the 15 Challenges as a module in its Masters programme in Future Studies. The result is that the annual State of the Future will gain a much bigger footprint in SA.0Z2Cb4   Q   r   n  Scenario Learning ProjectA 'This research project has been completed successfully. Final text editing and arrangements for publication are now under way. The report makes a valuable contribution to the use of public scenarios in Future Studies. The report will be officially published and discussed at the Nov conference.(0s7(C'   SOFI for SA 2 A  7A new initiative the Node embarked upon was to try and launch a SOFI for SA. The Node was successful in obtaining a substantial grant from the HSRC (a government funded research council) to develop a State of the Future Index for SA. This is a multi-year project and we will build on it over the coming years. 8 <8C7  Thanks!A TWe wish to record our appreciation to Jerome Glenn for his wise counsel in our dealings with the WFSF and in organising ourselves. And to Ted Gordon for generous advisory support on our SOFI project. Thanks to our partners, the IFR and Wits, who teach the 15 Global Challenges; and to the IFR for co-hosting the Conference. Thanks also to our financial sponsors who are making it possible for the SA Node to function: Anglo American Chairman s Fund Oppenheimer Memorial Trust SA government thru its Dept of Science & Technology The Finnish Embassy in SA:0Z20Z2CCHm   I   ]  ` ` ̙33` 333MMM` ff3333f` f` f` 3>?" dd@,|?" dd@   " @ ` n?" dd@   @@``PR    @ ` ` p>> $(    60v P  T Click to edit Master title style! !  0x   RClick to edit Master text styles Second level Third level Fourth level Fifth level!
