​Labs at Future Days 2026 are a cornerstone element to the immersive experience of this festival. Join us for an interactive 2 hours of discovery, discussion and play.

​Citizens’ Panel on Neurotechnology Regulation, 2038

​What would it feel like to live in a society where technologies that read, interpret, or influence brain activity have become part of everyday life?

​In this participatory futures lab, participants step into the year 2038 and take part in a fictional, but plausible, Citizens’ Panel on the regulation of neurotechnology. Instead of debating the future from a distance, the lab invites you to experience it from within daily life, public debate, and collective decision-making, as if you were actively living it.

​Sitra is the Finnish Innovation Fund, an independent public fund operating under the supervision of the Finnish Parliament. Its mission is to promote Finland’s well-being and accelerate sustainable economic growth by anticipating future developments, supporting societal innovations, and financing experiments that help society renew itself.

​⚠️ We have limited capacity on our Labs. Please take note if you have already registered for one on this day. If so, please cancel the registration that you do not plan to attend.
