What is the Future Threats Lab?

The Future Threats Lab is a collective of people conducting research on future threats, both individually and collaboratively, led by a team who organise events and online discourse across a broad range of threats. In doing so, they create a collaborative space – physical and virtual – intended to enhance research, learning and creativity: a space for creative and critical reflection on the most serious issues of our time. It is an inclusive and ethical community, encompassing diverse perspectives, and a support hub for information exchange, research and teaching collaboration, and joint funding efforts.

At the Future Threats Lab, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and diverse environment where everyone, regardless of their background, feels valued and empowered. We believe that diversity drives innovation, enhances collaboration, and enables us to better understand and address the complex challenges of the future. Our pledge reflects our dedication to creating a workplace where every individual can thrive..
