Breaking Out - RE-Thinking HR

After Hours: new members' report

Breaking Out is a report for HR managers, strategic developers, organizations and the business community. The report is a result of the Institute’s continued monitoring and surveys of trends that all point towards a need to rethink HR.

Come to After Hours Wednesday this week and hear the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies present the results of the report.


100% Innovation & Management

Future Club event at the Danish Embassy in Brussels 17 November

Futurist Mette Skovbjerg will talk about what we can learn from the most successful innovators of our time, and the skills that separates innovators from the rest of us. This is also the theme of CIFS' 4th members' report of 2011.

You will also experience our new Managing Director Keld Holm speaking about how Europe can reinvent itself to stay ahead.

Opportunities for energy efficiency improvements, challenges for emerging markets

The Institute along with its partners in the Euroconstruct network host a conference on these themes as well as general construction perspectives on 9 November 2011 in Paris.


United Dreams of Europe

Just as the EU seems to be in its worst crisis ever a book 'United Dreams of Europe' is issued.

It is based on interviews with young delegates from the European Parliament, 8 futurists including Johan Peter Paludan from the Institute, and students. It also contains a fascinating survey of attitudes to Europe in 13 EU countries, including Denmark. The Danes come out as rather extreme in many of the questions.

The discussion continues on:
