The vision behind the establishment of FFA is that there will be no direct competition between nation states or individual universities in the future but merely between European and global research networks. Therefore, the aim of FFA is to grow to an international network (World Futures Academy, WFA), the activities of which will be coordinated in Finland. In the near future, some of the FFA courses will be implemented together with the international partners. Prominent futurists from different scientific disciplines have been invited to the Advisory Board of the World Futures Academy.
