FUTURES magazine

Welcome to the Web page for FUTURES—a biannual magazine about cutting-edge technology research and innovation undertaken by Microsoft and its partners in Europe. From pure research in the lab to applied innovation with customers, and from key EU policy fora to how scientists, doctors, businesses, and NGOs are using the latest innovations, FUTURES puts Europe's innovation achievements and challenges in the spotlight.

The latest edition of FUTURES looks at three key areas of Microsoft research and innovation in Europe:

  • New ways of interacting with computers and the importance of putting human values at the centre of computing technology
  • The transformation of the Internet experience with smart and interconnected embedded computers
  • How research advances in search technology are being used by scientists, physicians, and citizens in the scientific, healthcare, and environment domains
