Horizon Scanning
Track weak signals, emerging technologies, and shifting societal needs to anticipate change.
Established by the European Commission, Foresight-on-Demand is a mechanism to respond to the demand for quick science-based inputs to policymaking by drawing on the best available foresight knowledge.
FoD aims at offering the European Commission services with timely and effective support related to crisis situations, emerging risks, and long-term policy challenges.
Among other activities, FoD includes
- Identifying and analysing change through horizon scanning and trend analysis
- Exploring and shaping futures through scenario development, vision building, and backcasting/roadmapping
- Testing and informing policy through stress-testing and foresight-based recommendations
- Tailored combinations of these and additional approaches applied to address specific policy needs
