Eyes to look at the future
Foresight explores long-term futures and creates shared visions for policy-making.
The Competence Centre on Foresight supports EU policy-making by providing strategic and future-oriented input, developing an anticipatory culture inside the European Commission, continuously experimenting and developing different methods and tools to make foresight practically useful for decision-making processes.
