    Our shared ambition was to imagine a vision that is grounded in reality and lived experience, yet bold enough to inspire the next decade of foresightโ€™s contribution to R&I.

    Discussions flowed through several stages:
    ๐ŸŒ reflecting on todayโ€™s foresight landscape, particularly within R&I in Europe
    ๐Ÿ”Ž identifying likely drivers of change for R&I in society by 2040
    ๐Ÿงญ probing the forces that could reshape foresight itself by 2040 and finally,
    ๐Ÿš€ envisioning the role and capabilities foresight will need to support R&I in 2040.

    A vision document capturing the outcomes of the workshop will be shared in due course, once the many insights, contributions, and reflections have been carefully woven together.

    Futures4Europe Conference 202515 May - 16 May 2025

    Exploring Future-Oriented Collective Intelligence

    The concept of Future-Oriented Collective Intelligence (FOCI) offers a transformative approach to making sense of and addressing future challenges that are complex and interconnected. 

    The topic was at the centre of the Futures4Europe Conference that took place on 15-16 May 2025 in Vienna, Austria, at the Skydome in Viennaโ€™s thrilling 7th district.   

    We are deeply grateful to all 140 participants from 32 countries who joined us for these two days of exploration, dialogue, and inspiration. To gain an overview of the diverse themes, methods, and perspectives presented, you may consult the book of abstracts.

    We also invite you to revisit the highlights of the conference through our photo gallery and short wrap-up video

    Feel free to share them with your networks! We look forward to meeting again in 2026.

    The Conference is organised by AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, as part of the Eye of Europe project, which envisions a more cohesive and influential R&I foresight community that contributes significantly, as collective intelligence, to shaping and guiding policy decisions. The project has received funding from the EUโ€™s Horizon Europe Research Programme under Grant Agreement nยฐ101131738.
