RESEARCH CENTERS
Organizations · Research Centers · Think Tanks
The trend is clear that the major universities, international R&D centers, corporations R&D centers, governments, military industrial complex R&D centers, and great thinkers have and will continue to focus on “Futures Studies” as an interdisciplinary field, studying yesterday’s and today’s changes, and aggregating and analyzing both lay and professional strategies and opinions with respect to tomorrow. It includes analyzing the sources, patterns, and causes of change and stability in an attempt to develop foresight and to map possible futures. Around the world the field is variously referred to as futures studies, strategic foresight, futuristics, futures thinking or futuring. Futures studies and the sub-discipline strategic foresight are the academic field’s most commonly used terms in the English-speaking world, (Source http://www.wikipedia.org/).
