This paper explores the transformative potential of converging three technological domains: CRISPR-based diagnostics, interpretive biosensing, and smart diagnostic infrastructures through the lens of strategic foresight and systems innovation. Whereas each of these technologies is advancing rapidly in isolation, their synergistic integration offers a new paradigm for pandemic resilience: one characterized by real-time sensing, contextual interpretation, and dynamic response capabilities. Drawing on interdisciplinary literature, global case studies, and foresight methodologies, this paper analyzes the current state of each domain, identifies systemic barriers to their convergence, and outlines pathways for scalable, inclusive implementation. The present work further examines the governance, regulatory, and ethical challenges that must be addressed to ensure equitable access and social legitimacy. A strategic roadmap to 2040 is proposed, envisioning a diagnostic ecosystem capable of early threat detection, personalized risk assessment, and coordinated global response. The findings suggest that the future of diagnostics lies not in singular innovations but in the orchestrated integration of programmable biology, AI-enhanced sensing, and real-time infrastructure. Such convergence has the potential to transform diagnostics from passive tools into active agents of global health security, enabling a shift from reaction to resilience in the face of emerging biological threats.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"177 ","pages":"Article 103767"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146081780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While this participatory dynamic amplifies diverse voices, it also facilitates the spread of offensive and harmful content, contributing to online harassment and misogyny. Recognising the need for effective countermeasures, we explore current strategies and advocate for a comprehensive approach. Situated within a European context, this study is designed to support policymakers, educators, platform regulators, and civil society actors seeking actionable insights to curb the rise of online gender-based hate speech. Our research employs a Delphi-based method to assess present and future counter-actions, facilitating the development of future scenarios. Through this foresight approach, we enhance the understanding of potential interventions and their implications, supporting decision-makers in addressing these complex challenges. From a methodological point of view, the paper contributes to scenario development by introducing several innovations: improved expert panel selection using a bibliometric approach, visualization of Delphi and ranking results through ternary plots, and the generation of narrative scenarios and policy actions using generative AI tools. We hope that the findings will serve as a practical resource for those engaged in the design and implementation of countermeasures against online misogynistic speech.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"177 ","pages":"Article 103773"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146174726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alongside advantages in effectiveness and efficiency comes the danger of relying on data describing past rather than future developments which can result in a loss of imagination and creativity. In parallel, a growing awareness of the interface between innovation and science fiction can be observed in academia and among practitioners. This awareness is most often based on the hypothesis that taking inspiration from science fiction can create value in the development of innovations. Despite numerous case studies in the literature describing this interface, a major part of methods applied seem to have been chosen in an unstructured, almost random way. This study investigates the literature in search of science fiction-related methods able to support the development of innovations. With around 60.000 publications considered based on a high-level search, a refined search combined with a manual search led to 17 science fiction-related methods to support the development of innovations. Using a six-phase generic innovation process, the methods identified were mapped into the process based on semantic similarities between the objectives of each method and the objectives of innovation process phases. This mapping is understood as an overview and conceptualization offering a baseline for future academic research and guidance for practitioners on choosing the most appropriate science fiction-related methods for developing innovations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"177 ","pages":"Article 103770"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146174730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates how exploratory scenario planning can enhance learning in a multidisciplinary urban planning studio, with a focus on cross-border cooperation in the context of European spatial planning. The research draws on a studio conducted within the Architecture Master’s Programme at Aalto University in Finland, as part of courses taught by the Professorship of Urban and Regional Planning. In this studio, students engaged with the Helsinki–Tallinn and Tornio–Haparanda regions. The findings indicate that scenario planning supports critical thinking, fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, and deepens students’ understanding of governance structures, policy frameworks, and transnational planning challenges. At the same time, the study identifies key difficulties students encountered, particularly grappling with legal, political, and cultural complexities, as well as the constraints posed by the linear structure of studio assignments. The results underscore the need for planning education to equip future professionals with adaptive, scenario-based approaches capable of responding to the demands of European spatial integration. The findings further suggest that futures thinking can be effectively introduced and practised in studio settings through accessible, low-pressure tasks. However, the study also reveals limitations in sustaining the participatory and communicative dimensions of scenario planning in teaching tasks, largely due to time constraints and practical challenges within the teaching framework. The article calls for a stronger body of literature dedicated to urban planning education, particularly in relation to scenario-based and cross-border pedagogies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"177 ","pages":"Article 103781"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147399951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
