What breakthroughs are needed in research and across society for us to tackle the future in the most effective way?
What breakthroughs are we expecting to happen soon?
And at what point during the creative process can we talk about breakthroughs?
These questions and many more will be discussed during the annual Future Week at Lund University.
Future Week, held 18-24 October, is an initiative with the aim to give Lund University a platform to raise crucial and pressing issues regarding the future, connected to a specific theme. The popular science events are designed for audiences both from within and outside the academic world. Many events will be offered physically and digitally.
