These are the proceedings from a workshop on the future of the Nordic Optical Telescope "NOT - a telescope for the future" which was held in La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain, 7-10 June 2022. Researchers from different science fields in the NOT community gathered with the aim to mark the recent transition to the new owners and organization of the NOT - the University of Turku and Aarhus University - and discuss the role of the NOT in the coming decade. The workshop covered science from a wide range of fields, focusing on the current and the future use of the NOT, as well as its educational role, in order to get input for the strategy of longer term use and operations. On-going and planned instrument upgrades were presented, for instance the coming NOT Transient Explorer (NTE). The meeting also commemorated Johannes Andersen and his importance for the NOT.
