| Strategic Foresight Group forges a partnership with a Paris based think-tank, Europe 2020 |
| |
Strategic Foresight Group and Europe 2020 have decided to come together and formalize the exchange of contents and links as well as conduct combined seminars of anticipation. Europe 2020's website most striking features are that it is the first website of political anticipation independent from any government, lobby, parties, etc. It operates in partnership with a large number of civil society organisations, companies, NGOs, and European and national public administrations (national Ministries of foreign affairs, European institutions, research centres); and from other continents. It is rooted in the analyses, methods and expectations of the new generations of Europeans (birn after the Treaty of Rome) and where theoretical input is turned into action as it actively supports many large-scale events.

Devika Mistry, reviews this months book. |
