History of the World Futures Studies Federation
The WFSF emerged from the ideas and pioneering work of such persons as Igor Bestuzhev-Lada, Bertrand de Jouvenel, Johan Galtung, Robert Jungk, John McHale and others who in the 1960s conceived of the concept of futures studies at the global level. This resulted in the organization of the first International Futures Research Conference in Oslo, Norway, in September 1967, for which Mankind 2000 was responsible in cooperation with the International Peace Research Institute, Oslo, and the Institut fÅr Zukunftsfragen. A Continuing Committee was created, with headquarters in Paris.
