The second objective will be to demonstrate the technical viability of some of the core goals of the European Research Council project “CoFUTURES” and the Norwegian Research Council Project “Science Fictionality”, especially with regards to the possible use of the humanities & technoscientific insights from science fiction for boosting research and development in sectors such as the Life Sciences, Medicine, and Climate Research.
