Prognostikon
For there is nothing of which either the origin is without cause
or the foreknowledge thereof without reason
μάντις μέν ὁ θεός,
μαντική δέ τέχνη περί τό μέλλον ἐκ τῶν παρόντων ἢ παρῳχημένων
Every aspect of daily decision making and planning is forward looking. We explicitly or implicitly exercise the art and science of forecasting in our decisions, reviewing them, revising them, thinking about new ones.

This is a project of the Center of Continuing Education (CCE) and Lifelong Learning of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens with Professor Dimitrios Thomakos as the Scientific Director.
With a team of dedicated academics and professionals from across scientific fields that share a common fascination and extensive expertis with prediction and predictability in all its forms, Prognostikon offers learning resources for anyone wishing to dive into the world of forecasting, foresight, and predictability.
