The Future of Asthma Care
Often hidden from view for many, asthma is a set of chronic conditions that will, some believe, impact around 1bn of us by the end of the decade. It will see new diagnostics and new treatments as well as gaining new social and economic perspectives in many nations. As part of a global Open Foresight programme to bring together an informed outlook for all to use, this is a draft synthesis based on dialogue with 100 experts worldwide.

The Future of Work and Skills Development
Over the last few months we have been working closely with the University of Bristol, School of Management to develop an initial perspective on the Future of Work and Skills Development. It marks the beginning of a programme, supported by Amazon, in which we will explore shifts such as technological progress, globalisation, an increasingly ageing population not to mention how climate change and biodiversity loss are revolutionising how and where we work.
