Description
Summary:Foresight exercises have become common in many countries and regions. Although the concept of Foresight has been widely discussed within the academic community and among practitioners, it still remains rather unclear which activities are necessary before such a study is launched, and which instruments and tools are most suitable to meet the challenges of predicting the future.
