Foresight and anticipation workshop
As part of the preparations for the WWTF call for proposals ´Resilience & Crises WWTF, in cooperation with Fraunhofer ISI, is offering two practice-oriented workshops on foresight methods in Vienna. The aim is to give potential applicants a sound introduction to the key concepts, approaches, and methods of strategic foresight and to support you in developing future-oriented project ideas. Participants will learn to explore key influencing factors of future resilience, identify signal of change, analyze and reflect on uncertainties, develop alternative future scenarios and derive needs for action and ideas for solutions. A special focus is placed on participatory methods, stakeholder involvement, and the derivation of robust options for action and governance strategies. The workshops combine conceptual input with practical exercises and provide space for exchange on concrete needs and examples in the context of resilience research.
Two workshops with the same content will take place on the following days at the WWTF:
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 13:00 - 16:00 In-person event
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 09:00 - 13:00 Hybrid participation possible: the theoretical parts can be attended virtually, but it cannot be guaranteed that all content can be conveyed in full, which is why in-person participation is recommended.
Limited number of participants: first-come, first-served basis! For reasons of fairness, we ask that you register only one person per project team or research group for the workshop. Thank you!
The workshop is intended to support researchers new to these methods. Participation is not mandatory in order to submit a proposal. Furthermore, the methods presented at the workshops are exemplary. Other methods may also be chosen for the proposal.
