foresight 2018 - 4th Annual International Symposium on Foresight

ATINER will hold its 4th Annual International Symposium on Foresight, 30-31 July & 1-2 August 2018, Athens, Greece as part of the 5th Annual International Conference on Social Sciences organized by the Social Sciences Division (Director: Dr. Yorgo Pasadeos, Professor Emeritus, University of Alabama USA.) and the Business, Economics and Law Division (Director: Dr. Michael P. Malloy, Distinguished Professor & Scholar, University of the Pacific, USA.) sponsored by the Academic Journals of ATINER.
The aim of the symposium is to bring together scholars, researchers and students from all areas of Futures Studies and other related disciplines including quantitative and/or qualitative methods such as scenario‑building, horizon scanning, forecasting, roadmapping, back‑casting, technology assessment, Delphi surveys and social platforms.
Special arrangements will be made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate. In addition, a number of special events will be organized: A pragmatic symposium (as organized in Ancient Athens but fine tuned to synchronous ethics), a special one-day educational island tour, a Mycanae and island of Poros visit, an Athens educational walking tour, an one-day visit to Delphi and an ancient Corinth and Cape Sounion visit.
