## The Network is an invitation-only community. Members join for a two-year term.

The network works as a time-bound think-tank and convenes around 600 of the most relevant and knowledgeable thought leaders from academia, government, international organizations, business, and civil society, grouped in expertise-based thematic councils. The current term started in March 2023 and will end in December 2024.


### Mission

The Network helps to identify and disseminate transformative ideas with the potential for global impact. The Global Future Council members provide strategic insights, scientific evidence, forward guidance, and multidisciplinary understanding of major issues through three pillars:


### Fresh ideas and innovative thinking

Nurturing cutting-edge and disruptive ideas and developing the foresight to identify and shape key areas


### Grounding in expertise and evidence

Providing a foundation for data-, evidence-, fact- and research-based public-private cooperation


### Interdisciplinary and systems approach

Connecting the dots between established and frontier issues and integrating thought leaders from business, academia, civil society, government and international organizations
