Celebrating a
century of action (1908-2008),
the International Women's Day
and heading towards 2015
The main message of Millennia 2015
is to enhance the driving force of women for the benefit of
humanity, with foresight as the method and the information society as
the context. The objective is to develop a positive vision of the future for
all women in the world: Horizon 2015.
The Millennia 2015 process will
evolve through three events. The first, organized in 2008 in
Liège, focusses on the Transfer of Information: exchange, collection, and
analysis of data to asses the current situation and to synthesise the challenges.
The second session (working on the
Knowledge Processes) is planned in Paris in 2011 (at UNESCO), and
the third session (construction of Intelligence Platforms) in New York in
2015 (at
the United Nations).
Led by its Scientific Committee and
mobilised by speakers coming from all continents as well as from the
United Nations, Millennia 2015 will structure its work from local to global
level, activating networks addressing Internet Governance, Foresight and
those related to enhancing women's rights.
