Federazione mondiale degli studi di futuro

AFI è stata accettata come membro istituzionale della Federazione mondiale degli studi di futuro (WFSF-World Futures Studies Federation, https://wfsf.org/). La WFSF è la grande e la più antica associazione di futuristi (nel 2023 compirà 50 anni!). Eleonora Masini, la decana degli studi di futuro in Italia, ne è stata Presidente per due termini, negli anni 1981-1990.
Nei giorni 26-29 Ottobre si svolgerà a Berlino la Conferenza della Federazione. Sarebbe bello vedersi in tanti anche a Berlino!

Dear WFSF colleagues,
We are pleased to inform you that the AFI has joined the WFSF as an institutional member.
The Italian Association of Futurists (AFI-Associazione dei Futuristi Italiani; https://www.futuristitaliani.it/ ) was established three years ago and comprises most Italian futurists.
Professor Roberto Poli, UNESCO Chair in Anticipatory systems, serves as President of AFI, the Vice-President is Massimo Gozzetti. One of the aims of AFI is to ensure that the profession of futurist is formally acknowledged by the Italian institutions.
The eventual acknowledgment will facilitate the establishment of new teaching and training programs (presently, the only future-based academic program offered in Italy is the Master in social foresight at the University of Trento), as well as paving the way for the opening of more positions in companies and other organizations.

Best Regards,
Victor V. Motti

Director World Futures Studies Federation (WFSF)		Managing editor European Journal of Futures Research (EJFR)
