General Overview of the Node

The Romania Node of The Millennium Project was officially set up in 2011 and it connects experienced as well as young and talented professionals from all walks of life including academia, think tanks, governmental and non-governmental organizations

The Romania Node seeks to address new areas of inquiry and interdisciplinary explorations of innovative issues, topics, concepts and methodologies related to the future of mankind. It is particularly interested in the new factors and emerging actors which shape the economic, political and security international agenda and the global, regional and local polity, with a special focus on South-East Europe and wider Black Sea region.

The Node members were involved in presenting The Millennium Project work to the Romanian public and producing various surveys and studies in the fields of International Relations, European affairs, geopolitics and security.

Node Chair is Adrian Pop, Professor of International Relations with the Faculty of Political Sciences at the National University of Political Studies and Public Administration in Bucharest. He has been involved with The Millennium Project activities since 1999. He supervised and coordinated the translation and publication into Romanian of the 2010 State of the Future and the executive summaries of its subsequent annual editions. In January 2012, he organized a lookout survey among members of the Romanian Node on transatlantic security, new challenges and missile defense architecture. In April 2012, he presented The Millennium Project’s activities at a CAESAR cocktail event in Bucharest. In June 2013, he presented the Global Futures Intelligence System (GFIS) at the 21st World Conference of the World Future Studies Federation (WFSF) celebrating its 40th anniversary in the capital city of Romania.
