Edinburgh Futures Institute
Edinburgh Futures Institute offers data-rich learning, teaching, research and innovation – and does so in an open environment that fosters collaborations with communities, public, private and third sector organisations. EFI’s mission is to harnesses academic expertise to make a step change in society’s ability to respond to the world’s greatest challenges and deliver benefits locally and around the world. EFI’s ethos is that the development and use of new technologies is too often seen as a purely technical challenge. EFI sees human and social needs as an equally important part of the challenge and brings expertise in ethics, law, policy, philosophy and creativity in conversation with technical expertise to create a better future.
