EFP · European Foresight Platform - supporting forward looking decision making

The Coordination and Support Action “EFP European Foresight Platform – supporting forward looking decision making” aims at consolidating the infor-mation and knowledge base on foresight in Europe and internationally. It rein-forces foresight actions initiated under the 6th Framework Programme, in par-ticular EFMN and ForLearn. By building on and integrating these two lines of activities, and by expanding their scope to cover also currently ongoing fore-sight actions of FP 7, as well as at national and international level, a unique knowledge hub for foresight-related information will be created to facilitate European foresight and forward looking exercises. The ultimate purpose of EFP is to better exploit foresight as a resource to support policy-making. The knowledge hub will be used in a series of national and European policy work-shops, geared towards major future challenges to Europe. EFP is composed of seven workpackages - Project management - Foresight Mapping - Foresight Briefs - Good Practice Dissemiantion Framework - Policy Support - Website - Community Building.
