FORESIGHT PUBLICATIONS This category contains updates and advance notification of Foresight publications, and acknowledges achievements of Europe’s academic institutions working in the field of Foresight.
This Guide is an introduction to Foresight, understood in these ways. It should be useful to readers seeking to brief themselves as to what Foresight is, and is not, and particularly to those concerned with whether a particular Foresight activity is really relevant to their interests. The Guide is especially oriented to those involved in forward planning and strategy development at regional and other subnational territorial levels (though much of the material will be equally relevant to those from smaller countries). It is aimed specifically at potential Foresight practitioners and users.
The Handbook has been produced for the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (EFL). The aim is to provide improved information about the implications of those contemporary changes that lead to commentators speaking of a “knowledge society”, especially for working life and living conditions.
The Greek guide to Regional foresight aims to inform the Greek regional policy makers about the usefulness of the regional Foresight and also about its’ implementation methods and the added value it offers to the existing strategic planning procedures. It is an introductory tool for entities/authorities with the potential to apply regional Foresight. At the same time, it may become the basis of a useful educational tool for the development of skills and the creation of a critical mass of Foresight experts in Greece.
The scenarios were developed by the IPTS (part of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre) in collaboration with DG Information Society and with the active involvement of 35 experts from across Europe. The aim was to describe what living with ‘Ambient Intelligence’ might be like for ordinary people in 2010.
This Report has been prepared by the Coordination Center for Information, Communication and Management Technologies at the Council of Ministers and UNDP with the contribution of Department “Information and Communication Technologies” and Department “State Administration” at the Council of Ministers. |
