Futurologist and Themis Foresight founder Jan Berger has been elected as the new president of the World Futures Studies Federation (WFSF) – the independent, globally leading organisation for scientific futurology.

Founded in Paris in 1973 and an official partner of UNESCO, the WFSF connects researchers, institutions and decision-makers from around the world to promote scientific dialogue on future issues and shape sustainable perspectives for global developments.

In his new role, Jan Berger will continue to develop the WFSF as the scientific and intellectual backbone of international futures studies in the coming years. His goal is to strengthen global cooperation within futures studies and to provide new impetus for interdisciplinary exchange.

With his many years of experience as a futures researcher, strategy consultant and speaker, Jan Berger brings exactly the qualities that are crucial for this task: strategic foresight, systemic thinking and the ability to translate complex interrelationships into inspiring visions of the future.
