About the Workshop
We warmly invite you to express your interest in this hands-on foresight workshop, where R&I experts will co-create the futures of the R&I System in Ukraine beyond 2035. Over the course of a highly interactive “lunch-to-lunch” format, we will work collaboratively to shape a resilient and ambitious future using core strategic foresight methods: horizon scanning, trend mapping, scenario development (three horizons), and roadmapping.
Workshop Objectives
By the end of the workshop, participants will have:
- Applied core strategic foresight methods: horizon scanning, trend mapping, three horizons, and roadmapping.
- Co-created a plausible scenario for Ukrainian R&I in 2035.
- Guided tour at the Solaris National Synchroton Radiation Centre.
