Future Explorations

Global challenges form the starting point of this Short-Advanced Program, which draws on methods of future assessment, design and innovation development to explore pathways to ecologically and socially sustainable futures. Each “edition” of “Future Explorations” focuses on one challenge area, the first being mobility and transport.

How can mobility be imagined and conceptualized in a new way?

How can we foster more sustainable modes of transport?

Concrete challenges will be developed with the involvement of cooperating partners. Based on the examination of different future scenarios, we will develop technologically supported as well as communicative solutions fostering sustainable development in this field. Starting with an online week, an interdisciplinary team of lecturers and coaches will give input and guide the students in developing their concepts. The online week will be followed by a four week period of remote teamwork and coaching focusing on elaborating the concepts, which will then be realized in the presential week in Dornbirn.
