Welcome to the Futures Conference "Futures Studies Tackling Wicked Problems", 11–12 June 2015, Turku

26.03.2015

“Futures Studies Tackling Wicked Problems: Where Futures Research, Education and Action Meet” is an international forum for the philosophies, methods, ideas and concrete examples to find out what is going on in the field of futures research, education and action.

The aim is to harness the views of preferable futures and methods for reaching them. The conference will work collaboratively discussing research, initiatives and projects to gather various views and compose ideas to face future challenges.

Conference program will consist of keynote lectures, parallel sessions and participatory workshops. Our aim is to generate multidisciplinary, lively and productive discussions, as well as promote networking between people from different backgrounds. In this conference the tradition meets new ways of participation: academia meeting activism and experience meeting enthusiasm.

Parallel sessions include themes: Philosophy of Futures Studies; Methodologies; Futures Education and Learning; Studies on Futures Research; Evolving Identity of Futures Research and Futures Movement and New Creative Cultures.

We look forward to seeing you in Turku next summer, June 2015!
