In conjunction with the 25th anniversary celebration of Research & Innovation foresight in Austria, the Conference will have an academic focus, where younger scholars will be given an opportunity to present their work. The conference will engage 80 to 120 participants.

The Foresight Conference in Vienna is organized by the Austrian Institute of Technology within the project Eye of Europe. It will bring together the Research & Innovation foresight community, fostering exchanges between foresight and expert communities, academics and policy practitioners from Europe and beyond. The event will create the space for mutual learning as well as developing shared visions.

The Vienna Conference also paves the way for the second conference, the “Foresight Festival” to be held in Italy in 2026, which will also be the final event of the Eye of Europe project. It will do so by engaging in creative and unconventional activities and by publishing its outputs in a book, on the Futures4Europe platform and/or as a special issue of an Open Access academic journal.
