proGective is structured in four distinct and complementary activities:

• a self-financed activity of research and development as regards Futures Studies; proGective, member of the main international networks of futurology (World Future Studies Federation, World Future Society) and of groups of research (Leuwen GRD, post-doctoral research group of the Gregorian University of Rome…), contributes to the reflections of the futurists’ world community; this collective futures thinking nourishes its research which leads to the development of new concepts and methodologies and are disseminated through publications and communications.

• an activity of survey, concerning some sixty large fields (from human rights to space technologies, to metropolitan development); it feeds the continuous working out of futures-oriented grids of reading and synthesis designed for explanatory or alternative aims.

• an activity of consulting and study department, intended to validate on the ground the results of its R&D and to detect the new needs as well as the emergent phenomena; daily challenge, this activity incarnates the finality of proGective: to develop an operational ‘French prospective’, adapted to the new needs.

• finally, crosswise, proGective permanently acts to promote Futures Studies / foresight/ ‘prospective’ through its participation in scientific or steering committees and as a fellow of the World Futures Studies Federation.
