News and events
Policy specialists from several national and regional governments in Europe on invitation by FutuRes on March 19. The FutuRes team got an in-depth insight into what policymakers need from research.
We celebrate one year of the FutuRes project! In this year, we have established the "Policy Lab" as a platform for stakeholders to discuss resilient policymaking. Several hundred stakeholders have already attended FutuRes events, including high-level speakers from EU policy.
You can now watch all video recordings of FutuRes researchers at the Berlin Demography Days 2024. Three of our research leaders presented their perspectives in expert panels from 23-25 January. Advisory Board member Pearl Dykstra spoke at the high-level policy panel.
FutuRes is pleased to be a partner in the next Berlin Demography Days. The theme will be “Overcoming Crises – Shaping Policy for an Uncertain Future”. We invite you to join us for panel discussions with distinguished experts from politics, business, science and civil society

Have you ever caught yourself speaking about “generations” as if they were different species? Labels like “boomers” and “generation X, Y, Z, …” are incredibly popular in public discourse these days. Unfortunately, these labels give us warped ideas about ageing.
To counter these myths, the EU-funded FutuRes research project is launching the series “Myth Busting for Ageing Societies”.
Register now for our virtual Press Hour.
