The Augur Project

AUGUR is an international research project of the FP7 (Seventh Framework Programme) of the EU, which is the European Union’s chief instrument for funding research over the period 2007 to 2013. Abstract : Our challenge is:
 to capture, within a set of scenarios, the characteristics and implications of a variety of patterns that may occur in 2030 in all domains, be it political, economic, social, environmental or technological in Europe and in the world;
 to take stock of long term trends identified in demography, environmental changes as well as to feature some of the effects of likely changes in technology and behaviours;
 to take into account the important institutional transformations that could come out of the major crisis that the world economy is confronted with.
