About

Future8 is a non-profit organisation that strengthens the societal value creation, relevance, and impact of collaborative research and innovation (R&I).

Building on extensive expertise in managing large-scale R&I projects and steering impact-oriented knowledge valorisation as part of the EURICE Group, we connect science and society: nurturing vibrant innovation ecosystems, bridging theory and practice, and making research outcomes resonate beyond the lab.

Our work focuses on making R&I more open, connected, and meaningful for society at large. We reflect on how collaborative innovation happens in different thematic fields, engage in impact-driven innovation actions to amplify their reach, and engage with the public to share the stories and outcomes of science in action.

Future8 acts as both a think tank and a catalyst: a space to explore, transform, and inspire. We bring together partners from science, policy, economy, and society to reflect and gather multiple perspectives on how innovation ecosystems work and how their results can create tangible benefits for society.

By linking reflection with practice, we contribute to shaping a research landscape that not only produces knowledge but also drives change.
