For the past three years, Lund University’s Future Week has presented ground-breaking research; research that has its sights set on the issues of tomorrow, presentations of a future reimagined as well as possible predictions of what is to come.
Future Week was organised by the team at LU Futura in collaboration with researchers and teaching staff from all the faculties, attracting the general public alongside university staff with popular science lectures and events.
We are now continuing this fine tradition, if in a somewhat reworked form. Future Days 2022 will take place from 24 to 26 October.
All lectures will be held in Rausingsalen at Skissernas Museum – Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art, from which the presentations will also be live-streamed. Events being held at Campus Helsingborg will also be streamed inside Rausingsalen.
As before, the event is for an engaged public and will consist of lectures that address the future in various ways.
An editorial board has been formed with representatives from all faculties, chaired by Stacey Ristinmaa Sörensen, Director of the Pufendorf Institute. The editorial board will develop proposals for the programme with a strong multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary, forward-thinking focus.
This year’s Future Days will most likely take on an overarching theme, on which more will follow.
Interested teaching staff members and researchers can start thinking now about what you may want to contribute to the event this autumn!
