GESDA was invited to brief member states and representatives of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) on science anticipation, focusing on developments in quantum technologies on October 21 and 22, 2026, as part of Switzerland’s 2026 OSCE Chairpersonship, supporting one of its five key priorities: Anticipating technologies for a safe and humane future. Mira Wolf-Bauwens, GESDA Head of Initiatives Development, provided briefings at the Residency of the Ambassador to Slovenia and at the OSCE Headquarters. Wolf-Bauwens stated that “Anticipation is not a contradiction to attention to current matters; it helps ensure that the security being defended today is not quietly lost tomorrow.”

GESDA Director General Marilyne Andersen also participated in key OSCE events, including the Conference in Geneva and the 32nd OSCE Economic and Environmental Forum in Prague, further solidifying the organization’s commitment to providing scientific insights to the OSCE. The Geneva Public Portal to Anticipation allows citizens to create their own visions of the future.
Anticipation is not a contradiction from attention to current matters. It helps ensure that the security being defended today is not quietly lost tomorrow. The question is not whether the OSCE can afford to look ahead in such times, but rather whether it can afford not to.
