In a complex and interconnected world, the solving of social challenges depends on adopting different perspectives and continuously reviewing and modifying one's own activities in terms of their effectiveness and future viability. For the Robert Bosch Stiftung, futures orientation has several dimensions: It promotes the development of innovative political solutions and facilitates an open dialogue between decision-makers and opinion leaders and international experts from various disciplines. The approaches, methods and instruments required to be effective and sustainable are being strategically developed in this area, for example through interlinking with the foundation's subsidiary International Alumni Center Berlin.
