Om os
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.

We’re excited to announce that five new talented interns have joined us! 🎉 We asked them what they hope the future holds. With a skill set varying from UX/UI design and project management, over psychology and public health, to sociology and development studies, they bring diverse experiences. Their knowledge is being extended in the areas of innovation and sustainable production, as well as geopolitics and the energy transition, which allows them to tackle complex challenges with a holistic approach. As they settle in, each has reflected on what they hope the future will look like: 👋 Amalie Mørck (she/her) envisions a future rooted in Collaboration, Acceptance, and Optimism. 👋 Karoline Sofie Lee (she/her) dreams of a future focused on Humanity, Social Equality, and Knowledge. 👋 Kurosch Mehrabizadeh-Honarmand (they/them) imagines a future defined by Empathy, Commitment, and Accountability. 👋 Luca Barbieri (he/him) aspires to a future defined by Ambition, Prosperity, and Stewardship. 👋 Magdolna Klara Kovacs (she/her) hopes for a world that is Thriving, Inclusive, and Balanced. We’re all excited to see the unique perspectives they will bring to the Institute and how they will contribute to the innovative and forward-thinking work we strive for. #futurefuturists #foresight #freshperspectives #reframing

The Role of Foresight in Organisations 💡🔭 Learn how foresight practitioners engage with the discipline of foresight and their roles within organisations. Read our report below and reach out to our Chief Foresight Officer Lasse Jonasson 👋 and our Head of Business Development Nabil Ali Jaloud 👋 if you want to join our network of foresight professionals. We experience a growing emphasis on foresight within the organisations we engage with. This trend is accompanied by a noteworthy shift towards formalizing the discipline of foresight. Foresight manifests in various organisational forms, with multiple pathways for implementation. Some organisations entrust foresight to a small team or even a single individual, while others adopt a more distributed approach. There are also those with dedicated foresight functions. To gain a better understanding of how organisations are effectively leveraging foresight, we've conducted a series of qualitative interviews with foresight practitioners from eight diverse organisations. This whitepaper encapsulates the key takeaways from these interviews, supplemented by our extensive practical experience in advising organisations on this subject. #foresight #strategicforesight #futuresthinking Daria (Dasha) Krivonos - Simon Fuglsang Østergaard - Carsten Beck

Did you know that, barring unforeseen events, the UN Pact for the Future and a Declaration for Future Generations will be signed by UN member states in less than a month? Yesterday, Nicklas Larsen and Toke Hanghøj met with Member of the Danish Parliament Carsten Hønge to discuss the commitments Denmark will make when signing the pact and the declaration. It was a great discussion on the importance of foresight in policymaking, how representation of future generations can lead to better long-term solutions, and concrete strategies for embedding futures thinking and foresight into the political structure, using the inspiring case from The Office of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales. We look forward to seeing the Danish response to the Pact for the Future and the Declaration for Future Generations, and we are ready to help get futures thinking and foresight into Danish governance. Reach to director Jonas Gissel Mikkelsen, Futurist Nicklas Larsen and Head of Communications Toke Hanghøj if you want to know more. #anticipatorygovernance #Futuresthinking #futuresliteracy #foresight Daria (Dasha) Krivonos - Helle Kallermann - Patrick Henry Gallen - Thor Svanholm Gustavfson

Why is carework so often overlooked and undervalued? ❤️🩹 All of us start off (and most of us end) our lives depending on other people’s care. Being cared for is a condition of our mental and physical health, our ability to create societal value, and the survival of our species. Yet, this societal bedrock is generally devalued. The skills required to perform it often seen as less than and current economic measurements’ omission of it obscures its value and necessity – despite modern economies being built on its (often unpaid) availability. This neglect is anything but sustainable. Read Jasmin Cramons exploration of carework's role in society as she speaks to Hanne Marlene Dahl, Professor in Social Science at Roskilde University 👉https://lnkd.in/gHe5csat This article was first published in FARSIGHT - our beutifully designed quarterly futures publication.

📱 Data as the Game Changer in Respiratory Health Mobile health platforms are transforming the management of respiratory conditions. Innovative tools, equipped with symptom tracking, medication reminders, and educational resources, empower patients to manage their health remotely and effectively. A landmark randomised controlled trial published in JAMA Internal Medicine demonstrated the power of mobile health interventions. The study showed a significant reduction in asthma-related emergency department visits and hospitalizations, with a 21% increase in SABA-free days compared to usual care. This is a game changer! By leveraging data and technology, we can revolutionise respiratory health management, leading to better patient outcomes and reduced strain on healthcare systems. The COPD index, due to be launched on 7th September 2024 at the ERS Congress, is part of that data-driven global health revolution. This project charts a new course that champions COPD care and respiratory health worldwide, enabling effective data utilisation in decision-making processes. The COPD index facilitates the identification of best practices from around the world, identifying strengths and weaknesses within different country's health systems, thereby enabling far more precise resource distribution, prioritisation and data-driven future systems design. Addressing health inequalities is essential to ensure that new technologies do not become a privilege only the few can afford. For many in underserved and economically disadvantaged areas, access to advanced healthcare solutions remains a distant dream. Embracing data and mobile health is one of the many keys to a healthier, more connected future for us all. The COPD index will remain a FREE resource. Please connect to our team Bogi Eliasen - Patrick Henry Gallen - Adela Bisak - Manya Lind - Aron Szpisjak 👋 Together we can change the landscape of respiratory health care. #respiratoryhealth #copd #copdindex #futurehealth #healthdata

An Alliance for the Future - A proposal for a strategic partnership 🤝 It has never been more important for people and organisations to learn how to navigate uncertainty, build optimism for the future and create meaningful change. This is widely recognised globally. Multilateral organisations, such as the UN, OECD, and the EU, as well as many countries, have put the future and future capabilities at the top of their agendas. The UN has just launched their UN 2.0 plan. Here, they identify five core capabilities that are necessary to create positive change in the future. Foresight, a concrete ability to work actively with potential futures, is one of the five. Furthermore, the UN General Assembly will be held in September this year under the banner ‘Summit of the Future’, where both a Pact for the Future and a Declaration on Future Generations will be launched to build on and revitalise the SDGs. The UN firmly states that we need more futures-oriented thinking and to build capacity in this area – and commit ourselves to it. At the same time, there is a growing anxiety surrounding the future in society, especially among young people. We need to address this by equipping them with the tools to explore different plausible futures, understand the dynamics that shape the future, and act on it. This aims to empower youth, foster optimism, and stimulate imagination for the benefit of national innovation, competitiveness, well-being and mental health. We at the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies has the experience, abilities and will to tackle these challenges. We hope you will join us. OUR VISION is a futures literate society where everyone has the right and mandate to engage with the future, participate in and visualise change so they can create the best possible future for themselves, society, and the planet. OUR BELIEF is that this will help create a more prosperous, equal and secure future. OUR PURPOSE is unfolded through a variety of agendas and concrete deliverables to wider society. We strive to do this to an extent in line with our purpose statement. OUR AMBITION is to find a suitable philanthropic partner who will take part in and share this vision. Download our pitch deck below and reach out to Chief Impact Officer, Jonas Gissel Mikkelsen 👋 to discuss and learn more about what a partnership with the Institute could look like. #foresight #strategicforesight #futuresthinking Daria (Dasha) Krivonos - Thor Svanholm Gustavfson - Nicklas Larsen - Helle Kallermann - Toke Hanghøj
