Global Network of Futures Research Nodes

The Millennium Project is a global network of 72 national futures research nodes, coordinated through regional networks, to conduct participatory foresight and long-term policy analysis. These nodes collaborate on shared methodologies, regional initiatives, and global studies addressing governance, technology, sustainability, and human development.
