u+ (The Plurality University Network) is an international non-profit association (loi de 1901) based in France. Founded in 2019, its mission is to explore and open up possibilities for the emergence of empowering, just, and sustainable futures, by mobilizing the resources of imagination (art, fiction, speculation…).

At the international level, u+ brings together actors working at the intersection of foresight, ecological and social change, and the arts.

In France and through European projects, u+ leads experimental projects in which we use artistic forms to enable people to imagine futures in which they are active participants, and develops training tools for Futures Literacy.

By taking part in u+’s projects, the partner organizations develop their capacities for future anticipations and their ability to link meaning and daily action, concrete innovation and global issues. They benefit from their inclusion in the global u+ network. For their employees, this participation is also a path of learning and transformation.

If you are interested in the u+ approach, methods and projects, contact us! Together we will look for ways to imagine a partnership that contributes to the u+ mission while meeting your expectations.

The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to support a community where all people feel invited to participate, to present new ideas and to inspire others, to discuss and improve their own ideas and those of others, regardless of context, race or ethnic origin, geographical location, gender, language, age, abilities, social status, religion, etc.

Openness, creativity, collaboration and participation are fundamental values of u+. To produce plurality, we need a diversity of people, practices and ideas.
