Project Rationales
❑ (WHY1) Higher education institutions are only slowly updating their entrepreneurship education curriculum according to (labor) market needs and global challenges
❑ (WHY2) Higher education and training offer in the field of Futures Studies is not widely and evenly distributed across Europe
❑ (WHY3) Knowledge and good practice exchange between educators of Futures Studies (incl. practitioners) and academics representing other scientific fields is limited
❑ (WHY4) Entrepreneurial skills are less about dealing with future challenges of the future because companies regard human-centered, organizational innovations (e.g. strategic foresight) as time-consuming and less worthy than product and process innovations that are believed to quickly bring profit (= short termism problem)

1. What do you think the future will be like? What is your prediction?
2. Which future are you afraid of?
3. What are the hidden assumptions of your predicted future?
4. What are some alternatives to your predicted or feared future? If you change some of your assumptions, what alternatives emerge?
5. What is your preferred future? Which future do you wish to become reality for yourself or your organization?
6. And finally, how might you get there?
