REAL TIME DELPHI The Millennium Project

The Millennium Project is a global participatory futures research think tank of futurists, scholars, business planners, and policy makers who work for international organizations, governments, corporations, NGOs, and universities. The purpose of the Millennium Project is to be an international utility to assist in organizing futures research by continuously updating and improving humanity's thinking about the future and making that thinking available for feedback as a geographically and institutionally dispersed think tank. 

The Project connects local and global perspectives via regional Nodes (groups of individuals and institutions) in Beijing (China); Brisbane (Australsia); Brussels (Belgium); Buenos Aires (Argentina); Cairo (Egypt); Calgary (Canada); Caracas (Venezuela); Essen (Germany); Helsinki (Finland); Istanbul (Turkey); Kuwait (Gulf region); London (U.K.); Madurai & New Delhi (India); Maui (Hawaii); Mexico City (Mexico); Moscow (Russia); Paris (France); Prague (Central and Eastern Europe); Pretoria & Johannesburg (South Africa); Rome (Italy); Sao Paulo (Brazil); Seoul (South Korea); Silicon Valley (U.S.); Tehran (Iran); and Tokyo (Japan).

Since the Project was initiated in 1997, it has been supported by a wide variety of institutions that include private corporations such as Applied Materials, Ford, and Deloitte and Touche, foundations such as the Woodrow Wilson International Center, and Foundation for the Future, US government agencies such as the US Army Environmental Policy Institute, US Environmental Protection Agency,  international agencies such as UNESCO and the United Nations University.
The Project manages a coherent and cumulative process that collects and assesses judgments from its several hundred participants to produce the annual "State of the Future", "Futures Research Methodology" series, and special studies such as the Future Scenarios for Africa, Lessons of History, Environmental Security, Applications of Futures Research to Policy, and a 550+ annotated scenarios bibliography.
