Foresight-wise theme
Many cards are up in the air with the pandemic – a ‘hyper-wicked’ problem, with deeper threat multipliers all around. How to manage such transformations, and steer from crisis to opportunity? Can we envision a next-generation practice of futures and foresight, which has never been so urgent? Such a Foresight-3.0 would follows the principles & practice of collective anticipatory intelligence: both within the foresight process, and for the potential transformations around it.
Key issues and challenges:
- Foresight & futures methods & applications
- Science technology innovation (STI)
- Social, economic, political innovation & transformation
Core partners: HSE Moscow: (SAMI Consulting).
