CFP: Forecasting World Events Project

Those interested in global security and politics, business and economics, public health, science and technology, or social and cultural change are invited to participate in a unique, online research study sponsored by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA). The Forecasting World Events Project is part of a federally funded research program investigating the accuracy of individual and group predictions about global events and trends, leading to fundamental advances in the science of forecasting. To support this research, the Project seeks to build a diverse panel of forecasters with interests in any of the above domains. Participants are invited to offer predictions about the questions that interest them most, update those forecasts as often as they like, and interact with fellow forecasters via optional discussion boards. The Project is scheduled to run from 2011 through 2013. Registration is now open at www.forecastwe.org. Following notification, selected participants will begin offering their predictions via an interactive forecasting website.
