The German Node
The Millennium Project operates in various countries via “nodes”. Each node consists of a group of individuals and organizations and combines global and local perspectives. In other words: On the one hand, the nodes communicate the results of the project in their country, and on the other hand, they provide input, for example by contacting specific experts to participate in studies and surveys, conducting individual studies and helping to steer the direction of the overall project.
