There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
Horizon scanning is a technique for detecting early signs of potentially important developments through a systemic examination of threats and opportunities, with emphasis on new technology and its effects on major issues. This futurefocused method is highly applicable to challenges in international affairs. Potential areas of inquiry for horizon scanning are the trends shaping energy geopolitics, evolving conditions around cyber security, and the impact of
emerging technologies on the global order. Join Tom McDermott, Director of Technology Policy
Initiatives for the Nunn School, for a discussion of what horizon scanning is and what it does, as well as its role in understanding present-day and future issues in international affairs.
Time will also be devoted to exploring how the broader Nunn School community can get in on the action.
