Description

To address the need for quick inputs to policymaking, drawing on the best available foresight knowledge, this framework contract involved the setting up a flexible ‘Foresight-On-Demand’ (FOD) mechanism. FOD aimed at offering timely and effective support relating to emerging challenges and other policy needs that may require rapid inputs from foresight in science, technology, research and innovation policy.

With the above in mind, during the whole duration of this framework contract, our partnership set out to:

  • Scan and synthesise foresight literature and data sources to get an in-depth overview of the current state-of-the-art and possible future scenarios already published;
  • Build forward looking scenarios as a method of describing alternative futures and make visible multiple possible policy pathways.
  • Combine the aforementioned actions so as to produce valuable policy recommendations.

The consortium was led by EY.
