Panel 1
Uncertainty, the Future, and Better Decision-Making
This panel brings together senior decision-makers from public and private organisations who routinely make decisions about the future under conditions of uncertainty. The conversation explores how leaders work with incomplete information, shifting signals, and evolving risks, and how probabilistic thinking, weak signal sharing, risk assessment, and scenario planning shape real decisions.
Panel 2
Advancing Uncertainty and Futures Research: What Editors Look For
This panel brings together editors from leading journals in uncertainty, futures, foresight, and decision-making. The discussion examines how to frame contributions that genuinely advance our understanding of uncertain environments, how methodological innovation and conceptual clarity are assessed, and what editors prioritise when evaluating novelty, rigour, and relevance.
