October 06, 2012

After a successful international gathering of eGovernment leaders at the Kosovo ICT Conference, preliminary meetings were held in Pristina, Kosovo, with representatives of the government, private sector, NGOs, and the European Union about establishing a Node of The Millennium Project in Kosovo. The proposed Node would identify thought leaders, scholars, and business planners who could participate in global futures research and make the results available to the people of Kosovo. Member of the Board of the Innovation Center Kosovo – ICK said “We welcome the opportunity to work with leaders from government, business, universities, NGOs, and the international community to create the Kosovo Node of The Millennium Project to participate in the world system of creative and futuristic innovators.”

Background
The Millennium Project was established in 1996 as the first globalized think tank. It conducts independent futures research via its 46 Nodes around the world that connect global and local perspectives. Nodes are groups of individuals and institutions that select thought leaders and scholars in their country or region to participate in globally significant research and feed back the results. The South-East European Node was established in 2007 with country Nodes in Slovenia, Serbia, and Montenegro. The MP is supported by UN organizations, multinational corporations, universities, foundations, and the governments of Azerbaijan, Kuwait, Montenegro, South Korea, and the United States.
