The Tomorrow Project and the ESRC
In 2006 the Tomorrow Project reached agreement on an important new partnership with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). This partnership, which has been agreed in principle for three years, will in its first year involve four elements:
a publication in 2007 on the future of globalisation, based on the model of our earlier joint publication with the ESRC Working in the Twenty-First Century. This task is being supported by a steering group drawn from the business, government and academic worlds. The project is being undertaken in collaboration with the Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation at the University of Warwick, where Michael Moynagh has a visiting fellowship for this purpose;

a programme of events designed to support the interaction between researchers and practitioners in the public, private and voluntary sectors, including support by the ESRC for our Tomorrow Network events, and
a programme of secondments.
Subject to review during the first year, the subsequent years of the partnership will follow a similar format.
We are delighted to have concluded this agreement, which will help to add value to the ESRC's research by placing it in a forward-looking context and support the Council's task of disseminating knowledge and promoting public understanding of the social sciences, and will enhance the scope and impact of the Tomorrow Project's outputs.
We will provide details of the results of the project as they emerge through the Tomorrow Bulletin and our other communications.
