The Institute for Futures Studies (IFFS, Institutet för framtidsstudier) is a Swedish research institute founded in 1973 as a Swedish government secretariat, and made independent in 1987. The institute conducts policy-relevant, inter-disciplinary research on critical future-related issues and contributes to the public policy discourse through its seminars and publications.

The core mission of the institute is futures research, the promotion of long term perspectives in scientific research and the management and development of theory and methodology within the field of futures studies. In addition, the Institute promotes and stimulates public discussion on future possibilities and risks in the development of society, and informs decision makers on the same topic.

The IFFS is partly financially supported by a direct grant from the Swedish Department of Education, but mostly by external research funding.
