Fremforsk examines and maps the future on the basis of research. We always try to document the future as much as possible. To do that is in fact impossible, because the future has not taken place yet, but what we can do is to render our analyses probable based on what will take place in light of what has taken place and based on the knowledge that can be found in respect of how the development has been up until now. Fremforsk, Centre for future studies was established on September the 1st 2001 by Jesper Bo Jensen, futurist, PhD from University of Aarhus. Jesper Bo Jensen has worked with futures studies since 1993 in both Copenhagen and Aarhus and over the years he developed the urge to challenge himself by being self employed. When we are not occupied in our studies we like to participate in the public debate. We are often in possession of knowledge that can make it painful to read the daily papers and watch/hear the media. That is the output of our work with documenting the future through knowledge about the past and the present, We are - with the risk of sounding portentous - “in favour of the truth”. In other words: we try to inform about our society as it actually is – and not as it is often perceived to be. Foredrag på dansk, skandinavisk og engelsk Vi holder mange foredrag om mange emner - blandt andet foredrag om virksomhedernes konkurrencemæssige udfordring samt rekruttering og fastholdelse af medarbejdere i fremtiden. Den offentlige sektors fremtidige udfordringer er et andet stort område - ligesom detailhandlen, byer, byudvikling og fremtidens bolig. Dertil kommer hele den finansielle sektor. Livets faser, de nye familier og privatlivet. Innovation, fremtidens produktudvikling samt globalisering, regionalisering og EU.
