*From 8-10 November 2017, Anticipation2017 
<http://anticipation2017.org/> will bring international researchers, 
practitioners and scholars to London to explore how ideas of the future 
shape action in the present.*

The 2nd International Conference on Anticipation provides an 
interdisciplinary meeting ground in which researchers, scholars and 
practitioners who are seeking to understand anticipation and 
anticipatory practices can come together to deepen their understanding 
and create productive new connections.

The overarching aim of the conference and of the emerging field of 
Anticipation Studies is to create new understandings of how individuals, 
groups, institutions, systems and cultures use ideas of the future to 
act in the present. This conference will build on the 1st Conference of 
Anticipation 
<http://www.projectanticipation.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=546>, 
held in Trento, Italy in 2015 which saw over 350 delegates gather to 
explore topics ranging from design futures, to anticipatory economics 
and the philosophy of the present.

This second conference aims to put into dialogue the empirical, 
practical and theoretical insights that are emerging in highly diverse 
fields ranging from philosophy and biology to psychology, cultural 
geography to critical theory, physics to design, history to mathematics, 
urban theory to engineering.

The conference will be held at Senate House, School of Advanced Study in 
central London. This venue is right next to the British Museum and in 
the heart of Bloomsbury. The area offers a wide range of accommodation 
options, from budget to five star facilities and is easily accessible 
from Heathrow and other London airports.

If you would like to present at the conference further information is 
available on the Call for Papers page 
(http://anticipation2017.org/call-for-papers/). Booking for other 
delegates opens in May 2017.
