Future lab 2025
About the seminar Zukunftslabor2025
The Future Lab seminar was offered for the first time in the 2024/2025 winter semester as part of the Master’s program in Society – Environment – Future. During the initial phase in late 2024, students explored futurology methods and began developing project ideas. These concepts will be further developed and applied in the seminar’s second, practical phase in spring 2025. A brief overview of the projects is presented below.

Have you heard of Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA)?
CSA brings consumers and farmers together to promote sustainable, fair, and regional food systems. The focus is on fresh, high-quality produce and fostering a strong community connection. Simply put, it’s an innovative way to grow together and enjoy together!
On February 6, 2025, a workshop was held with participants from Osnabrück University and SoLaWi Hof Pente (Hof Pente) to explore the potential for a partnership between the university and a local community-supported agriculture initiative. The aim is to build a network where students, staff, and other members of the university community can take advantage of what SoLaWi has to offer.
