Advice Centre

We are keen to share a very broad and diverse base of knowledge, experience, and contacts accumulated during a decade of fruitful growth and expansion. Our fields of inquiry are highly transdisciplinary, so questions about how to connect anything to anything else can probably be answered by someone in FoAM's network. Our advice centre can offer anything from a short conversation to several mentoring sessions, and if we can’t answer questions ourselves we can draw on our network of partner organisations to connect people in Europe and beyond.

Our expertise lies in connecting disparate fields of knowledge and whole-systems thinking; we function as a “match-maker” for trans-disciplinary collaborations. On a more practical level, we often consult on technological development in the social and cultural sphere, eco-design, group facilitation, as well as structuring and financing interdisciplinary initiatives. We can help with questions related to creative uses of digital technology, multi-sensory experiences, food and food systems, permaculture and urban gardening, foresight and futurism, as well as more practical “how-to” questions related to interactive systems, funding for experimental projects and methodology for creative research.

If you are in need of advice and think that FoAM can help, feel free to send your question to info@fo.am. We'll do our best to answer it.
