Hi! I am Marianna Birmoser Ferreira-Aulu, doctoral researcher at the University of Turku (UTU), Finland. My long-term professional goal is to contribute to society by exploring innovative pathways towards just and sustainable futures. I intend to do this by producing high-quality scientific materials, by popularizing science to catalyse positive transformations, and by engaging with the civil society to collaborate with various stakeholders.

My current research, with a working title of “Amazonia 2040: Scenarios of the Future for Empowering Sustainability” aims at experimenting on co-creating mapped-based scenarios. As a study case, I look at the Mosaic of Conservation Areas of the Lower Rio Negro, in the Brazilian Amazonia.

I also teach the course Futures Case Evaluation, at the Master´s degree programme of Futures Studies.


At UTU, I have worked as project researcher Finland Futures Research Centre (FFRC), and the Centre for Collaborative Research (CCR). I have been engaged with various projects in strategic foresight, futures literacy, sustainability and climate action, renewable energy, food research, and international collaboration.

In addition to desk research, I enjoy doing workshop facilitation (have experience in Finland, Peru and Colombia). I have also been quite active in public speaking, by giving talks in various seminars and conferences. I also enjoy cooperating to developing the strategy of our own organization. I have represented UTU in international cooperation initiatives through international education services.
