The Millennium Project is an independent global futures research think tank that conducts participatory foresight and long-term policy analysis through an international network of regional nodes. It was established in 1996 following a three-year feasibility study conducted in collaboration with the United Nations University, the Smithsonian Institution, The Futures Group, and the American Council for the United Nations University.

The organization coordinates contributions from experts in academia, government, business, and civil society to examine long-term global challenges and emerging issues. Its work is synthesized into recurring publications, including the State of the Future reports and the Futures Research Methodology series, as well as numerous thematic futures studies.
