Imagine a virtual hub where you can explore the futures in your field of interest, whether it’s Food, Emerging Technologies, Democracy, or beyond.
Picture an inclusive agora where forward-looking practitioners come together to showcase their projects, results, and promote events. A place where individuals and organizations collaborate and inspire, inviting the entire Europe and the planet to witness this collective exhibition of future possibilities.
This is the vision behind futures4europe.eu!
Who’s behind it?
Supported by the European Commission, futures4europe.eu is entering its maturity phase: a major upgrade has been launched in November, in order to facilitate its role as the home of the European foresight community.
This is a user generated content platform, meaning it’s up to the future oriented community, among which foresight practitioners and organizations, foresight beneficiaries, future sensitive artists to present their projects, results, and events.
By design an inclusive space, futures4europe does not position itself as a competitor to other platforms, but as an integrator of various networks and associations of foresight and forward looking professionals and organisations
Currently the platform is managed under the Coordination and Support Action EYE OF EUROPE, but ultimately this is a public good, a socio-technical infrastructure that we nurture together to advance meaningful conversations on the futures of our society.
