Conference “Learning from the futures”, September 5-7, 2010, Palacky University Olomouc

How can we learn from the future - not knowing how it will look like? At first sight, the title seems to be a paradox - and did not humankind prove to be unable to learn even from the past? Several National Associations of the Club of Rome and the Millennium Project will meet at Palacky University Olomouc in 2010 in order to discuss possible futures and outline scenarios and pathways which might lead to desirable or undesirable futures. From these possible futures, we will derive lessons for the present. For more information please visit http://www.clubofrome.at/2010/futures.
