FutuResilience. D2.5 Consolidated report of pilot cases

This report presents the results from ten pilot cases under the FUTURESILIENCE project, which aimed to enhance societal resilience through co-creative, science-based experimentation. The pilots—FutuResilience Labs—operated across diverse European settings and followed a shared foresight framework comprising five phases: diagnosing challenges, developing scenarios, prototyping solutions, co-implementing actions, and evaluating outcomes. The labs combined participatory foresight with agent-based modelling (ABM). Foresight tools supported collective anticipation and scenario exploration, while ABM simulated policy impacts in varying socio-economic contexts. Stakeholders participated in structured experimentation linking local knowledge with evidence-based policymaking. Key outcomes include context-sensitive policy recommendations and strengthened cross-sector collaboration. Despite addressing different challenges, common findings highlight the importance of inclusivity, shared ownership, and institutional learning. The project shows that embedding foresight and cocreation in governance processes enhances the capacity of regions to navigate uncertainty and collaboratively shape adaptive, equitable futures.
