On 19 November 2025 the LUKE Knowledge Hub gathered over 20 researchers and policymakers from Ukrainian research institutions for an interactive online workshop, “Strategic foresight for resilient research and innovation systems.” The event provided participants with tools to anticipate future trends, design adaptive policies and strengthen the resilience of Ukraine’s research and innovation ecosystem.
Through hands-on exercises, attendees analysed historical futuristic visions from the early 20th century, identifying inherent biases and assumptions. The workshop also facilitated discussions on emerging trends shaping Ukraine’s research and innovation landscape over the next decade. Experts guided participants through the key steps of foresight implementation, with a special focus on the role of “wildcards” – unpredictable events that could disrupt or accelerate change.
Participants were encouraged to stay engaged for upcoming initiatives, while those who missed the event may access materials on the LUKE Knowledge Hub website.
