The Scottish Parliament's think-tank
As the Scottish Parliament's futures think-tank, Scotland's Futures Forum looks beyond the electoral cycle to stimulate debate on the long-term challenges and opportunities that Scotland faces.
Our major programme for the coming years is the Scotland 2030 Progamme, an exploration of Scotland's culture and society and our aspirations for 2030 and beyond. Taking a number of different perspectives and considering the societal and cultural impacts of existing and predicted trends, we will examine how Scotland can meet the challenges that emerge in order to exploit the opportunities that exist.
