	<P Align="justify">Future Worlds Center's Associates are typically engaged in multiple projects, i.e., they belong to multiple “circles” (i.e., projects) at the same time. Their individual contributions and responsibilities in each project might differ in intensity, and they are agreed in advance. Projects have different sizes. Each project has one Coordinator (upper semi-circle in each project) and several members (who can also be external Associates). Projects may be funded or not. Usually, new [[Associate\|Associates]] negotiate their placement in at least 3 main projects: A primary, a secondary and a minor.

	Optimally, these two projects are funded, which offers flexibility and stability for the individual. However, [[Future Worlds Center]] keeps money issues separate from projects in which its [[Associate\|Associates]] are active. In other words, funding options do not dictate our orientation and activities. An easy-to-understand explanation is the following:		Optimally, these two projects are funded, which offers flexibility and stability for the individual.
