How can we make better decisions today for a future we do not yet know?
Foresight Lunch Austria invites you to regular discussions on topics relevant to the future and the practice of strategic foresight. It marks the launch of a community for all those who wish to actively shape the future and is aimed at staff from ministries and the Austrian civil service.
The community comes together to share experiences, discover new perspectives and learn from one another. Foresight projects are presented to stimulate discussion, and insights into methods from foresight practice are discussed. The series thrives on the people who take part: their questions, experiences, projects and ideas. The aim is to gradually create a forum in which knowledge is shared, new contacts are made and shared perspectives on future thinking are developed.
We invite you to get involved and actively help shape the community; for example, by asking questions, joining in discussions or sharing brief insights into your own foresight activities.
Whether you’re already using foresight or are just discovering it: we look forward to welcoming people who are curious, keen to share their experiences and want to shape the future together. Participation is free of charge. You can register via our registration form.
