Who we are

Arnstein Aassve and Pearl Dyksta in conversation

Our researchers are demographers, economists and social scientists. They are people who work in predicting population trends and economic developments; who model the ripple effects of technological change; or trace the patterns of our life decisions.

The FutuRes consortium is formed by eight European partner institutions. Here the scientists are joined by experts who specialise in stakeholder engagement for policy, civil society and business audiences. They maintain the FutuRes Policy Lab.
