The evolving complexity of global challenges is increasingly affecting the steering of
European Research and Innovation which aims at addressing important present and future societal concerns. The idea of ‘watching futures’ to anticipate future possibilities and analyse the consequences of current choices to inform and shape a forward-looking EU R&I policy is continuously gaining ground.
In this light, as part of the ‘European R&I foresight and public engagement for Horizon Europe’ study launched by the
European Commission in connection to the
Horizon Europe Foresight Network, a second series of
online workshops will take place during the
October - November 2023.
These workshops, which will run for two hours each, will discuss insights stemming from
thematic Deep Dives /Policy Briefs compiled by expert panels, addressing possible future scenarios for critical issues (i.e., Interpretations of Criminal and Lawful activities, Green Skills and Jobs, Big Tech, etc.).
Following
the presentation of each policy brief, each workshop will feature
two focus
groups: one involving the group of experts from the panel who developed the
policy brief and one including representatives from topic-relevant EU-funded
R&I projects. All events will foster extensive engagement with
participants, including policymakers.
