Research collaborators

Our “learn by doing” approach typically involves undertaking research projects with external collaborators. Some simple ways in which we encourage you to collaborate with us are through commenting on our work on this site and sharing your related work with us. For example, each of the 200+ Drivers of Change cards has its own web page.  We would love to hear your thoughts on those issues and their implications for the built environment. Alternatively if you have ideas for EU, NSF or other funded research projects then get in touch.

Teachers & facilitators

Our mantra is “Foresight by Design”. We have developed frameworks and design approaches to help simplify the process of thinking about the Drivers of Change that will have an impact upon the world around us. Our aim is to put the tools and resources that we have created into your hands.

Interns

If you are interested in interning with us then drop us a note. We are particularly interested in students who are looking to gain experience in telling stories about the future. In the past we have really enjoyed working with interns with skills in research synthesis, writing, graphic design, info vis, web development etc.
