Evaluation of a University Project Using the Future Workshop Method

This article presents a novel application of the Future Workshop (FW) method in evaluating a university-based collaborative project. FW engages participants in critically examining a problem, envisioning an ideal solution, and developing actionable recommendations. We implemented FW to assess the Science Hub (SH) initiative, which fosters tripartite collaboration among academics, students, and external partners. Conducted over two sessions, FW involved 14 project team members in identifying barriers to cooperation, envisioning ideal stakeholder roles, and prioritizing feasible improvements to SH’s operational framework.
