About the Lab
In a rapidly changing world, the ways we create and share knowledge are continually evolving. Futures Literacy is the ability to envision multiple and diverse futures and to use these perspectives to gain new insights into the present.

In this Futures Literacy Lab, we will explore how our anticipations shape the knowledge we produce, the systems we engage with, and the possibilities we can collectively imagine. Through guided exercises and collaborative sense-making, we will uncover the assumptions that influence our current choices and create space for emerging perspectives.

Futures Literacy is a powerful practice for transdisciplinary research and learning. It helps us identify hidden assumptions, foster collaboration across different disciplines and sectors, and envision alternative pathways beyond traditional boundaries.

Target Audience
This lab is designed for:

• PhD Candidates
• Early-Career Researchers
• Academics
• Societal Partners

No prior experience with Futures Literacy or futuring is required.

Why This Matters
Imagining alternative futures is essential for transdisciplinary research and learning. It allows us to make implicit assumptions visible, fosters richer collaborations, and opens new opportunities for shared understanding and innovation.
