An independent, non-profit futures think tank — founded in 1969. We equip you to act on the future, today.
关于我们
The Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies (Instituttet for Fremtidsforskning) is an independent, non-profit futures think tank – founded in 1969. We help people and organisations imagine, work with, and shape their future. The Institute was founded in 1969 by former Danish Finance Minister and OECD-Secretary General, Professor Thorkil Kristensen, with the support of visionary public and private organisations, to better qualify decision-making through futures studies and to contribute to the betterment of our society. That is our purpose. The Institute is today a truly global entity working with public, private, philanthropic, and academic organisations around the world. We act as an advisory, a publisher, an event organiser, and as an initiator of various future orientated joint-venture initiatives. The Institute is also configured as a community of sorts, offering memberships for organisations and individuals. We believe that, as the Institute itself, the future belongs to no-one and yet to everyone. We are by decree here to contribute to the betterment of our society, meaning better for the largest possible number of stakeholders. Our own definition of better is based on our perception of our Nordic values firmly rooted in trust, equality, openness, integrity, and inclusiveness, and a society where critical decisions about the future are based on insights, not intuition. Our research within futures studies is essentially about spotting initial signals, identifying patterns, and convert analysis into insights about potential futures. The Institute does not predict the future, this is of course impossible, but instead we generate the best possibly qualified assumptions for potential futures. All of the Institute’s profits are allocated to further futures studies and to realising our purpose.

End of February sneak peek: I had a great time and the privilege of attending a powerful Strategic Foresight session, surrounded by phenomenal facilitators and professionals who brought their unique perspectives to the table. Exploring diverse insights through the Foresight lenses challenged the conventional thinking and with each interaction we strengthened the collaboration and innovation. A huge thank you to Martin Kruse and Aron Szpisjak for your guidance, energy, and expertise and to all attendees who contributed to this dynamic and enriching experience!

Navigating the discourse on Artificial General Intelligence in Foresight ?? - A Roundtable Discussion Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) remains one of the most debated and polarising topics in the foresight community. On one end of the spectrum, it is seen as the breakthrough that will propel humanity into a new era of intelligence and automation. On the other, it is framed as an existential risk – a force that could surpass human control and reshape civilisation in unpredictable ways. For foresight practitioners, the challenge is not just to engage with AGI as a technological possibility, but to do so in a way that is both imaginative and strategically relevant. That AGI discourse often operates in these extremes presents a significant challenge for the foresight community: how do practitioners stretch the imagination of individuals and organisations while maintaining the business relevance of longterm futures? To address this issue, we surveyed members of our Foresight Practitioners Network to understand their opinions on AGI: their organisation’s preparedness, knowledge of the field, and perspectives on how the community should best navigate the deep uncertainty of its development. We then asked foresight experts to weigh in on our findings. Read the full conversation Bugge Holm Hansen (Head of Technology and Innovation at CIFS), Sofie Hvitved (Head of Media at CIFS), and David Jonker (Head of SAP’s Insights Research Centre). ?? Do you want to be a part of our Foresight Practitioners Network?

Book a seat at our popular course in Applied Strategic Foresight and learn to navigate uncertainty strategically ?? Read more and sign up ?? https://lnkd.in/d9aRfgev In the course, we equip participants with the foresight tools, practices and mindsets to tackle the complex business challenges of our time, identify emerging opportunities, and plan for alternative future scenarios. Foresight tools are primarily designed to aid us in challenging assumptions and unawareness about what could be true in the future. It involves a deliberate effort to counteract biases in decision-making that make us believe the future will merely reflect what we are able to see in the past and present. As uncertainty grows and predetermined outcomes become less certain, relying solely on forecasts and trend analysis (and sometimes hype cycles) can provide a false sense of understanding. Our course is for anyone who wants to get a head-start working strategically with the future and enhance their strategic thinking through futures thinking and foresight. Reach out to Manya Lind ?? if you have any questions or find our new Foresight Toolkit here ?? https://lnkd.in/gV5nBQMV Simon Fuglsang ?stergaard Nabil Ali Jaloud Lasse Jonasson #foresight #strategicforesight

There’s a coup against democracy happening, says Dutch politician Marietje Schaake, who warns against the growing influence of tech giants on society. But if Europe wants to use the technology on its own terms it will come at a cost. The struggle for control over digital technology is intensifying. While politicians attempt to regulate artificial intelligence and social media, the influence of tech giants on virtually every sector of society has continued to grow. For Europe, the challenge is compounded by its relatively weak homegrown tech sector and a growing dependency on the services of especially American providers. One of the EU’s most prominent voices in the debate is the Dutch politician Marietje Schaake. As a member of the European Parliament, she speaks of an outright “tech coup.” That’s also the title of her recent book,?The Tech Coup: How to Save Democracy from Silicon Valley, published this past fall, in which she describes how more of society’s fundamental functions are being outsourced to tech giants – and thus fall outside democratic control. Read the full piece here ?? https://lnkd.in/dAASUFNy This article was originally published by Peter Hesseldahl for Mandag Morgen. It has been translated and edited for use in FARSIGHT.

?? Where is the pedagogical guide to futures literacy? We are thrilled to embark on a new journey—one that will make futures literacy accessible and actionable for educators. To help us take the first steps, we are excited to welcome Helene Niclasen Jeune, process-maker, facilitator, and strategist, for the next four weeks! UNESCO has identified futures literacy as an essential capability for navigating an uncertain and ever-changing world. It enables us to think critically, constructively, and creatively about possible futures—an invaluable skill for both educators and learners. Teach the Future Denmark leads our initiatives within the topics of children, youth, and education. The latest initiative? A framework for educators that will explore didactical and pedagogical tools and perspectives on futures literacy to help facilitate futures thinking in the classroom. With 12 years of experience in learning processes, entrepreneurial programs, and development projects, Helene brings her expertise to this initiative: "My focus is to create meaningful processes and courses that strengthen people and organizations on their journey towards new horizons. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Teach the Future Denmark initiative!" #teachthefuture #futuresliteracy Mikkeline L. - Thor Svanholm Gustavfson

Snart er et laboratorie, hvor praksiseksperter, embedspersoner, forandringsagenter, forskere, ledere, beslutningstagere, kunstnere, aktivister, studerende og politikere m?des til arrangementer, workshops og l?ringsforl?b for at arbejde aktivt med fremtiden som v?rkt?j til at tr?ffe valg i nutiden, som er til gavn for dem, der kommer efter os. ? Her kan du stille dig i skoene p? kommende generationer, sp?rge forskellige arter til r?ds, opdage nye stemmer og metoder, og begynde at bruge fremtiden som et konkret v?rkt?j til udvikling. ? ”Vi unders?ger, hvad der sker, n?r fremtiden bliver en kropslig og sanselig oplevelse, hvor vi gennem nysgerrighed, eksperimenter og kunstneriske metoder styrker vores forestillingsevne og handlekraft for fremtidens generationer”,?siger Nicklas Larsen, Instituttet for Fremtidsforskning og Majken Overgaard, selvst?ndig kurator, der sammen har kurateret program og indhold til Snart.? ?
