The Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future is an interdisciplinary research center affiliated with the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University.
The Center conducts interdisciplinary research on globally important issues that affect the human condition over the course of several decades. Through programs of scholarship, outreach, and education, the Pardee Center works to improve public decision-making and policy to train future generations of interdisciplinary scholars.
The Pardee Center was established in 2000 through the generosity of Frederick S. Pardee, a Massachusetts native, who earned both undergraduate and graduate degrees from Boston University. He pursued his passion for analyzing trends for the future as a systems analyst and an economic forecaster.
