The Policy Lab
Welcome to the FutuRes Policy Lab!
The "FutuRes Policy Lab" connects demographers with experts from research, politics, business and civil society. Our meetings and workshops are designed to develop pathways for policy.
All discussions at Policy Lab events feed back into the FutuRes projects' research. All research findings feed directly into the Policy Lab.
