H chairs Future Worlds Center (www.futureworlds.eu) and he is the Rector of N.E.T.S., an innovative Graduate School, whose 20 PhD students collaborate to develop scientifically grounded methodologies and tools to "design" our future and to re-invent systems of governing ourselves. He is member of the Onlife Initiative Think Tank of the European Commission that developed a Manifesto (https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/onlife-original-outcome) to inspire reflection on what happens to us and to re-envisage the future with greater confidence. He promotes the application of mobile learning and broadband technologies to bridge ethnic-, digital-, economic-, educational- and inter-personal divides on our planet. Laouris was member of the first group of trainers (Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group) that planned and executed trainings in communications- and conflict resolution skills that eventually reached more than three thousand citizens from both the Greek and Turkish communities. Together with Aleco Christakis and Marios Michaelides, he applied the Structured Democratic Dialogue Process (SDDP) on dozens of groups world-wide. He was also the co-Founder of numerous peace promoting projects such as tech4peace.org, Youth Promoting Peace (y2p.org), EUcitizenship.net, MulticulturalCyprus.net, TalkOfTheIsland.org, civilsocietydialogue.net, ActBeyondBorders.net, etc. His books MasksofDemons.com and CitizensCommandments.com are relevant. His contributions in systems science applications were recognized by the Hellenic Society for Systemic Studies who honored him with their 2008 Award. For the past 5 years, his group develops systems to enable scaling up the SDD process to engage asynchronously thousands in meaningful dialogue, thus accelerating positive societal change. | |||
