What will the future of Europe look like? Will it be a common future or will there be different futures in old member states, new member states and those countries which are left outside the European Union?
Will Europe take up the challenge of the limits to growth of resource consumption? Will it be the continent where decoupling of further growth of GDP from resource use can be achieved? Or will there be no future for an ageing continent with a shrinking and less and less innovative population? How can science, how can a new futurology help to overcome the problems ahead?
