We have posted the present list of participants. 3-4 additional scientists from The Rockefeller University are expected to join the meeting, for example, with expertise in cloning.

We plan to post the draft agenda by early May.

1 April 2003

We create the site for the Next 1000 Years Workshop.

Among the subjects we might discuss are:

• sex, gender, human numbers
• diet, health
• time and money
• work and leisure
• energy and transport
• aggression and violence
• environmental change
• spatial diffusion of innovations (globalization)
• information and privacy

One occasion for the workshop is that my Italian colleague Cesare Marchetti and I are writing a book titled The World's Progress. Parts of the book will discuss the next 1000 years. We aim to have an advanced book manuscript for the meeting.
