Biography

I am M.Sc. (econ.) Coordinator Sari Söderlund at the Finland Futures Research Centre (FFRC, Turku School of Economics TSE, University of Turku UTU, Finland) and I have worked as a part of the futures studies/ foresight society since 1998. There has been a variety of futures studies education, research and development positions such the coordinator of the Finland Futures Academy (FFA), which is a national network of 10 universities for futures studies academic education. As the special advisor of the Committee for the Future at Finnish Parliament I worked as a part of the Finnish national democratic decision-making system during 2016-17. In past years I have been active with national Futures Focus education and development services and transnational education by opening up avenues for international co-operation. I am a regular expert and lecturer in strategic foresight programmes of TSE exe (business studies adult education, TSE, UTU) in such fields as corporate foresight, and ontology and epistemology and science philosophy of futures studies, and in such programmes as e.g. Certified Foresight Professional Programme (CFP), Managing strategic foresight (in Finnish: SEJO, Strategisen ennakoinnin johtaminen), JOKO and EMBA (management programmes) and Business Talent Academy (BTA).
