At the University of Turku, a foresight process was carried out during 2023–2024 to explore alternative futures for the University. The process began with an analysis of the operating environment, which provided the basis for designing a Delphi study to be conducted at the University. We engaged 54 participants from across the University of Turku, representing different units and roles ranging from administrative staff to researchers and students. The Delphi statements concerned different aspects of the University, from research to teaching, from administration to infrastructure, as well as many other aspects of the University.
