World-Economic-Forum-Annual-Meeting-2009

My brain is hon­oured to have been invit­ed to par­tic­i­pate-togeth­er with the rest of my body of course- in a new ini­tia­tive by the World Eco­nom­ic Forum. Of course I have accept­ed, giv­en that the Glob­al Agen­da Coun­cils have this fas­ci­nat­ing charter:

- “Glob­al Agen­da Coun­cils will chal­lenge pre­vail­ing assump­tions, mon­i­tor trends, map inter­re­la­tion­ships and address knowl­edge gaps. Equal­ly impor­tant, Glob­al Agen­da Coun­cils will also pro­pose solu­tions, devise strate­gies and eval­u­ate the effec­tive­ness of actions using mea­sur­able benchmarks.”

- “In a glob­al envi­ron­ment marked by short-term ori­en­ta­tion and silo-think­ing, Glob­al Agen­da Coun­cils will fos­ter inter­dis­ci­pli­nary and long-range think­ing to address the pre­vail­ing chal­lenges on the glob­al agenda.”

Update (Novem­ber 2nd, 2008): my pro­pos­al is to cre­ate a Glob­al Con­sor­tium for Neu­rocog­ni­tive Fit­ness Inno­va­tion. I will keep you informed via this blog.
