Appointment of BCR's director to Global Agenda Council of the World Economic Forum
On July 1, 2010 the chairman of the World Economic Forum, Prof. Klaus Schwab, informed BCR’s Prof. Gießmann of his appointment to the forum’s new Global Agenda Council (GAC) on Terrorism. The GACs comprise 15 to 20 members from all over the world and serve as an informal advisory board to the World Economic Forum and, through the forum, to the international community. As mentioned in their mission statement, the councils represent “the world’s foremost integrated ‘intelligence’ network of innovative thinking and idea exchange on global issues”. This is Prof. Gießmann’s second term to serve as a GAC member.
