He serves as President and Founder of the Club of Budapest, an organization devoted to promoting a new way of thinking for global solidarity. He also serves as the Chairman of the Ervin Laszlo Center for Advanced Study, Chancellor of the Giordano Bruno GlobalShift University, and Editor of World Futures: The Journal of New Paradigm Research. Laszlo is a recipient of the highest degree in philosophy and human sciences from the Sorbonne, the University of Paris, as well as of the coveted artist diploma of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Budapest.

Laszlo has authored more than seventy books, which have been translated into twenty languages, and has published in excess of four hundred articles and research papers, including six volumes of piano recordings
Dr. Michael Charles Tobias earned his PhD in the History of Consciousness at the University of California-Santa Cruz, specializing in global ecological ethics and the interdisciplinary humanities. His wide-ranging work embraces the global ecological sciences, art, comparative literature, the history of ideas, philosophy, and natural history in the context of a multitude of possible future scientific, geopolitical, economic, and social scientific scenarios. He is the author of over fifty books--fiction and nonfiction--and has written, directed, and/or produced over one hundred films. His works have been read, translated, and broadcast throughout the world. He has conducted ecological field research in over ninety countries and has been the recipient of many awards, including the international Courage of Conscience Prize. Tobias has been on the faculties of such colleges and universities as Dartmouth, the University of California-Santa Barbara (as both Distinguished Visiting Professor of Environmental Studies and the Regents Lecturer), and the University of New Mexico-Albuquerque (as the Visiting Garrey Carruthers Endowed Chair of Honors). An Honorary Member of the Club of Budapest, Tobias is a full member of the Russian International Global Research Academy, as well as the Russian Public Academy of Sciences. For eighteen years Tobias has been President of the Dancing Star Foundation (www.dancingstarnews.com; www.dancingstarfoundation.org) whose mission is focused on animal liberation, global conservation biology, and environmental education.
