Annual Summer School and Futures Conferences

Together with the Finland Futures Research Centre, the FFA organises an international summer course parallel to the annual conference. The teaching structure of the summer courses follows the topic of the conference, and students are free to participate in conference presentations and workshops. The summer course is meant for both undergraduate and postgraduate students who are interested in Futures Studies.

Forthcoming Summer School

The Summer School 2024 ‘Futures of Natural Resources’ is exceptionally only available to Finland Futures Academy’s minor students.
