The Millennium Project & C3:VisionLAB™ as an Arts and Media “Node”
The Millennium Project was founded in 1996 after a three-year feasibility study with the United Nations University, Smithsonian Institution, Futures Group International, and the American Council for the UNU. Now an independent non-profit global organization, it acts as an international research think tank of futurists, scholars, business planners, and policy makers who work for international organizations, governments, corporations, NGOs, and universities. The Millennium Project manages a coherent and cumulative process that collects and assesses finding from its 33 Nodes around the world, culminating in an annual “State of the Future” publication and reports dedicated to understanding how humanity can work together to improve the human condition, as well as catalyzing projects through better interdisciplinary knowledge share.
c3: VisionLAB™ has been invited by the Millennium Project to chair and create a "Global Arts and Media Node," and will be contributing to their growing information base and focusing projects according to the organization's 15 Global Challenges: Sustainable development and climate change, clean water, population growth, democracy and equal rights, long-term perspectives, global convergence of information and communications technologies, ethical market economies, global health issues, global decision making policies and process, peace and conflict, status of women, crime, energy, scientific and technological, and global ethics.
