Tech Titans, Brave Open World, Eastern Ascendance – Are you ready to discuss three plausible future scenarios for the world of research and the implications for the library? Join us for a highly interactive discussion based on the Research Futures report.

This analysis of how research will be conducted and communicated 10 years from now is based on: an extensive literature review, 56 expert interviews, a survey of 2,055 researchers and 3 one-day workshops. The Elsevier and Ipsos MORI study identified 19 key drivers, such as AI and machine-learning tools change the shape of science, and public funders have less influence over research priorities. Within the report the drivers are grouped into 6 themes that led to the 3 future scenarios.

Research has reached a tipping point: how research is conceived, completed and communicated will change dramatically over the next 10 years. Journey with your colleagues into an exploration of the impact of these potential drivers of change, the repercussions of the decisions we make today and how we equip the workforce of tomorrow.

Within this session, a host will hand out a synopsis of the future scenarios to attendees and then engage them with an online poll. Librarians will lead discussions on the key questions within individual groups focused on preparing for and navigating the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
Take an exhilarating leap into the future of research and research libraries!
