What is FFA?

Finland Futures Academy (FFA) is a national network of 9 universities aimed at facilitating academic educational and research programmes in Futures Studies. The co-ordinating unit of FFA is the Finland Futures Research Centre at the University of Turku.

The courses at the FFA are organised together with national and international partners. Educational activities are based on the following key concepts: interdisciplinarity, internationality, interaction between theories and practices, open distance learning solutions and a multiform approach.

Futures studies education includes modules of contact and distance learning. Contact learning sessions combined with the use of information technology for distance learning enable motivating interaction of students and teachers. It also emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of futures studies. Futures studies are available for students either as part of other futures studies modules or as supplementary studies within the specific orientation of an M.A. degree.
