Reflecting on the Digital Futures Faculty Retreat at Skogshem & Wijk

Last week on 13-14 November, our faculty came together at Skogshem & Wijk for the Digital Futures Faculty Retreat, an inspiring and collaborative experience. Set against a serene backdrop (just look at the sunrise), the retreat offered a unique space to connect, discuss, and strategize around our theme: “The Future of Digital Futures – A Five-Year Perspective”.

Digital Futures Director Karl Henrik Johansson opened the event by sharing an overview of Digital Futures and key recommendations from the Scientific Advisory Board. Through interactive sessions, group discussions, and thought-provoking presentations, we explored insights from the Board and shared our visions for the future.

The energy and ideas exchanged over the two days underscored our shared commitment to advancing Digital Futures in impactful ways.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this retreat a success! A special thanks to our group discussion leaders Angela Fontan, Jorg Conradt, Silun Zhang​, Ioanna Miliou, Ioana Bercea, Vitaly Petrov, Jennifer Ryan and Andrii Matviienko on the first day and Mattias Höjer, Henrik Sandberg, Martin Törngren, György Dán, Lanie Gutierrez-Farewik, Ozan Öktem, Joakim Lilliesköld and Aris Gionis on the second day and to Viktoria Fodor for the support.

A big thank you to Digital Futures Associate Director for Faculty David Broman for the seamless organization, with great support from Site & Event Officer Ulrika Larsson and colleagues Claudia Enciso, Vendela Hasselberg and Johanna Gavefalk.
