Insight into the variety of everyday as well as specialist conceptualizations of the future is a necessary condition for mature and successful foresight practice. Agence Future or AF is a long-term project for basic exploratory research into the make-up and structure of concepts of the ‘future’, the use of images of the future and the possibilities for cross-cultural communication about futures. The project tests an innovative combination of approaches for futures studies, with the aim of contributing to the theoretical and methodological basis for foresight practice and to improving foresight capabilities.
