The New Club of Paris
The New Club of Paris is an organization open
to everyone who is qualified to make
contributions by scientific work or who has
proven his / her competence by personal
commitment. It is an association of scientists
and intellect entrepreneurs dedicated to
research and promotion of the idea of supporting
the transformation of our society and economy
into a knowledge society and a knowledge economy
In public we address decision-makers,
specifically in politics, to embark on the new
knowledge paradigm and to engage in developing
new strategies which go far beyond the repetition
of old recipes to make the future, or
variations on the same theme.
