IndEco to provide facilitators to the Design Science Laboratory

When: June, July 2006

Where: New York, NY & Ashville, NC

IndEco staff will be working with teams of enthusiastic researchers to develop strategies for addressing the United Nations' Millenium Development Goals this summer. Design Science Laboratories are being offered in New York City, and Ashville, North Carolina by the Buckminister Fuller Institute.

The Design Science Lab offers a unique opportunity to develop solutions to global and local problems. It features hands-on training experience in complex problem solving employing an approach pioneered by R. Buckminster Fuller and others called comprehensive anticipatory design science.

Teams of participants will work in groups on particular aspects of the MDGs, focusing on developing strategies that are practical and systematic. The results of their work will be presented to UN officials and others, and published in a report on the Laboratory.
