Seminar - "The World in 2025"
24 September 2009
Austria
It will underline the tensions on natural resources and the new production-consumption patterns while attempting to identify the so-called "wild cards". Potential transitions will be evoked (multi-polar world, socio-ecology, beyond technological innovation). Finally, the next steps in European foresight and forward-looking activities will be presented by the European Commission.
This Seminar will benefit from the inputs of a European Expert Group "The World in 2025" set up by the European Commission in 2008 (cf. individual contributions available on http://ec.europa.eu/research/social-sciences/pdf/report-the-world-in-2025_en.pdf(opens in new window)) and from the reflections of several Directorates-General of the European Commission (cf. synthetic paper available on http://ec.europa.eu/research/social-sciences/pdf/the-world-in-2025-report_en.pdf(opens in new window))
