The work of the European Foresight team at JRC-IPTS centres on the provision of forward looking intelligence to support decision making and enhancing the use of Foresight as an instrument for policy making in Europe.

The focus of their activities is increasingly on more policy-relevant foresight application and methodology development, particularly by developing approaches to the early identification of emerging issues that will have an impact on European policies.

IPTS is also broadening the scope beyond research and innovation policy to a more general application of Future-Oriented Technology Analysis (FTA), including application of combined qualitative foresight and quantitative modelling approaches.
