Foresight Community News
The European Foresight Platform (EFP) is a network building program supported by the European Commission’s (Framework Programme 7). It aims at building a global network of networks bringing together different communities and individual professionals to share their knowledge about foresight, forecasting and other future studies methods.

Please consider to apply for registration here, to get full access. The following public list provides a small selection of current news about the foresight community.
