The Open Foresight Hub is a platform based on open and collaborative wiki principles. It enables the exchange of views about futures and the forces shaping them. It is a space for everyone to come together. On the Hub, foresight professionals as well as the future-curious can find a library of research publications, an encyclopaedia of foresight-related terms, players, and methods, and a deep dive on global change drivers. Get involved in the growing community of collaborating practitioners!

How can we use Science Fiction in our Foresight work? Motives & Fiction is a joined research project of the Foresight Academy and the Technical University of Ingolstadt, Germany. The research project identified interesting overlaps and differences between the science fiction genre and Foresight. Together with the students of the Technical university we identified what we can learn from Sci-Fi movies, books, TV series and cartoons about plausible and surprising aspects of future everyday life.

This joint project between the Foresight Academy and students of TH Ingolstadt explores video games as possible sources for Foresight. During the research project, students asked questions such as "Can video games be a trend indicator for the future?" and "Can games provide us technological and emotional insights into future everyday life?" Stay tuned for the final results in the fall of 2023.
