Next Generation Foresight Practitioners (NGFP) Fellowship 2025

Foresight is a systematic way of engaging with uncertainty by exploring alternative futures, including aspirational ones. As a discipline, it has the potential to shape the future. It is not about predicting the future but understanding your current and future operating environment. Insights gained from foresight equip communities and organizations to recognize and respond to emerging threats and opportunities by developing enhanced competitiveness, resilience and agility.

A foresight practitioner is anyone who takes a futures approach to their work to explore and understand the impacts of longer-term factors and drivers of change on the future, to understand better how different futures might evolve, and to generate insights for decisions made today. They are interested in emerging practitioners who are using futures and foresight in collaborative ways for social and environmental good.
