the near and longer-term future of human welfare and societal change. We refer to any area of societal change (e.g., economic conditions, public health, freedoms, happiness, life expectancy, functional institutions, technological innovations, peace, education,
social capital), seeking to understand whether such conditions will improve, stay the same, or worsen in the future.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

your field</b> who study issues related to the future for humanity and societal change. Self-nominations are welcome. Top nominees will be invited to share their insights—and eventually share a distillation of these expert opinions with the academic community
and society at large.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
