A living lab where science meets civil society. These public-oriented projects envision sustainable futures and offer a real-world testing ground for transformative ideas.
Thinking in futures
The energy transition is part of an enormous transformation process, demanding not only technological and political change, but the active support of an entire society. We want to empower people to imagine their desirable futures. Using foresight methodologies we encourage participants to leave the possible and think in their own utopias. These shouldn’t be restricted by feasibility or practicality. Fiction is therefore a necessary method to open spaces of possibility and to allow the questions of “What if?”. In this way we encourage people to create excitement and to think the big.
