The Future Focused Society initiative

Future Focused Society (FFS!) is focused on addressing societal challenges through creativity, innovation, design, action and exploratory research.

Working with the approach of keeping it complex, making it slow exploring domains through curiosity and interest. Opposing reductionistic tendencies and positivistic ideals.

• Macro: Face and address global systems and societal challenges, including sustainability, technological advancements, and cultural transformations, by identifying barriers and exploring scalable solutions.
  
• Meso: Facilitating collaboration across organizations, communities, and interdisciplinary teams to co-create meaningful initiatives, addressing shared challenges and implementing actionable solutions.
  
• Micro: Empowering individuals and small groups to identify obstacles, take action, and build agency, fostering innovation and practical problem-solving in practice and research.
  

Exploring and creating the future through creativity, innovation, action, and exploratory research. The group emphasizes research in action and doing, sometimes without knowing, where ideas evolve into initiatives that come to influence both academia and society. Through seminars, collaborative projects, and mentorship, FFS! creates agency and democratic action to challenge conventional boundaries and expectations. Focus is and will continue to be, to find win-win collaborations, where the actors benefit and value the outcomes.

FFS! explores the dynamic interplay between humans, systems, and technology, integrating elements of action, creation, philosophy, art, design, and culture to understand how these forces collectively shape innovation and societal transformation.

Committed to creativity, sustainability and responsibility, FFS! exemplifies how research can be both driven by what is fun, and what is done with the society, instead of on the society, can be valuable and impactful.
