| Tiivistelmä: | There is a growing need for closer cooperation, which can only be achieved if it is based on an understanding of the cultural elements involved in the scientific enterprise. The article describes a research project undertaken to investigate the nature of scientists' worldview by surveying their images of future. No single scientific worldview emerged, but rather a structured set of alternative views of future, running along demographic, social and cultural lines. Such diversity may theoretically provide a healthy basis for scientific enterprise, but only if used creatively, otherwise it may hinder international, multidisciplinary collaboration. |
