Edinburgh Futures Institute

Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI) is a strategic initiative of the University of Edinburgh, which aims to facilitate multidisciplinary learning and teaching at the University. With a particular focus on data driven innovation and future challenges, EFI works across the themes of Democracy, Society, Education, Creativity, Justice, Health, Sustainability, Economy and History. We are developing new undergraduate and post-graduate programmes alongside collaborative research and engagement. We collaborate with industry, governments and communities to build a challenge-led, data-rich portfolio of activity that has demonstrable ethical, social, cultural, economic and environmental impacts.
