Launch of the Global Futures Information System (GFIS)

January 2013

The Millennium Project launches its GFIS on the 16th of January. The system will enable you to keep track of global dynamics, obtain insight and inform decision making and future possibilities.

Subscribers will have access to current information, data and intelligence from futurists, scientists, thought leaders and experts around the world through an evolving system that is developed to grow synergies. The system provides detail for each of the 15 Global Challenges of the Millennium Project through a situation chart (current and desired status, relevant policies to address the gap), overview and detail section, digest (news articles and other information on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis), updates, scanning results, news feeds, Real-Time Delphi (RTD) surveys, discussion (groups, blogs), models (interactive computer models applied in futures work), and other resources for each Global Challenge.

View the webcast on 16th January, 12h30 to 13h30 East Coast Time USA. View the press release here or take a look at a flyer of the system here. Visit the Millennium Project website and subscribe to have access to the GFIS and its more than 10 000 searchable pages on topics such as the environment, the future economy, global scenarios and annotated bibliography of over 850 scenario sets.
