Ten Nobels for the Future

The second seminar in the 1997 series of "Ten Nobels for the Future" seminars will take place in Milan, Italy, on 4-6 December 1997. Initiated in 1993, the "Ten Nobels for the Future" seminars bring together Nobel laureates and experts in disciplines for which the Nobel Prize is not awarded (mathematics, earth studies and social sciences), to discuss their visions of science, economics and ethics for the coming century.

The 1997 series is aimed at forming a rational perception of the future that can help the public to distinguish between real dangers and unwarranted fears. The December seminar, will draw on an analysis of the forces that are behind the changes now under way, and the models that enable them to be predicted. Their links with real-world choices and new global priorities will be discussed, with attention being given to the key role played by the expanding body of shared information.

Dr. Jorma Routti, Director-General of the European Commission's DG XII, responsible for Science, Research and Development, will address participants on Friday, 5 December 1997, introducing a panel discussion on "Innovation and Society".
