Laouris and his team are at the forefront of developing systems that scale participatory dialogue processes. These systems engage thousands of participants asynchronously in meaningful, authentic conversations, thereby accelerating positive societal change. The Future Worlds Center has successfully implemented over 120 global projects focused on ideal futures, peace, and human rights. He is one of the twelve authors of the ONLIFE Manifesto, which explores how the deployment of ICTs profoundly affects the human condition by altering our relationships with ourselves, others, and the world. In the 1990s, Laouris founded CYBER Kids, a network of computer learning centers that introduced advanced technology into the lives of young children through an educationally relevant and socially responsible curriculum. This initiative aimed to foster creativity, innovation, imagination, and problem-solving skills, thereby advancing the educational and political landscape of Cyprus and seven other countries. The curriculum, grounded in cybernetics, impacted thousands of children and emphasized the integration of IT with positive social change to enhance the educational experience. | |||
Laouris’s research spans multiple disciplines, including neuroscience, applied systems science, peace studies, action research, operations research, neuropsychology, and the neuroscience of learning. He holds a medical degree, a PhD in Neurophysiology (summa cum laude) from Germany, an MS in Systems & Industrial Engineering from the US (GPA 4.0), and a PhD in Systems Engineering (by publications) from Portsmouth University, UK. | |||
