EUROPE´S FUTURES INITIATIVE

Europe´s Futures Initiative (EFI) was born from a simple conviction: that Europe´s strength lies not in nostalgia, but in its ability to imagine.
      In an age marked by uncertainty and fragmentation, EFI seeks to rekindle Europe´s imaginative power – its capacity to act, to renew itself, and to shape the world rather than merely react to it.
      Europe today stands at a crossroads: challenged by shifting geopolitics, democratic backsliding, social fragmentation, and a growing sense of fatigue. Yet it remains the world´s most ambitious experiment in coexistence – a living idea still capable of inspiring. EFI exists to keep that idea alive.
      EFI is a pan-European space for experimentation – where ideas meet action, and where reflection becomes a force for transformation. It gathers thinkers, practitioners, and changemakers from across the continent to ask anew what Europe is, and what it can become.
      Whether rethinking migration for social cohesion, exploring the moral and geopolitical frontiers of technology, or restoring trust in public life, EFI turns uncertainty into possibility – and possibility into impact.
      EFI´s governance mirrors its values: inclusive, democratic, and participatory.

Headquartered in Vienna, EFI draws upon the city´s legacy as a crossroads of European thought, diplomacy, and culture – a place where the continent has often paused to reflect on itself before moving forward.
      Europe´s Futures Initiative will begin its activities in early 2026.

Those who join EFI will stand at the forefront of Europe´s renewal. As we prepare for this launch, we are assembling an exceptional, diverse, and truly European team – people driven by excellence, vision, and the will to shape what comes next.
