Future SIS Group
FutureSis is a scientific group dedicated to advancing statistical research in the fields of Future Studies and Strategic Foresight. By bringing together methodological and applied research, the group promotes the integration of quantitative and qualitative approaches to better understand complexity and support evidence-informed decisions about the future. With a strong multidisciplinary and international perspective, FutureSis fosters collaboration among statisticians, social scientists, policy-makers, public institutions, and international organizations.
Through research projects, workshops, conferences, and partnerships with scientific societies and professional networks, the group contributes to the development and dissemination of innovative foresight methodologies. In an increasingly uncertain and rapidly changing world, anticipating future developments has become essential for governments, businesses, and society as a whole. Statistics plays a crucial role in this process by integrating traditional data with expert knowledge, supporting the construction of future scenarios, and providing robust evidence for strategic decision-making. FutureSis aims to strengthen the contribution of Statistics to Future Studies by encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue and promoting new methods capable of addressing the complexity of long-term societal, economic, technological, and environmental challenges. The group is committed to building bridges between research and practice, helping shape more resilient, sustainable, and desirable futures.
We are no longer able to imagine the future, and so we turn to the past, nurturing nostalgia and regret: these are the years of retrotopia
