(useful links: EEA scenarios public web site; Envirowindows scenario web site)


This project is coordinated (Project Team) and supported by the European Environment Agency and its Scientific Committee.


Project aim:


Aim&#13;
of the project is to produce a challenging and long-term vision to&#13;
support the formulation of Research agendas for Environmental&#13;
Sustainability.


Project report: Literature review of EU foreseight studies and networks and megatrends of reserach foresight drivers


Project Objectives:


The objectives of this EEA project initiated by the EEA Scientific committee are to:


review existing research foresight initiatives 
within&#13;
	the STEEP framework (Social, Technollogy, Economy, Environment, Policy)&#13;
	analyse mega trends, uncertainties and surprises of relevance for&#13;
	exploratory research;
produce&#13;
	a research outlook with a long term perspective (20 years) based on a&#13;
	judgement of experts within and outside the EEA scientific committee,&#13;
	also based on EEA assessments and outlooks, and;


clarify and demonstrate the importance of such research outlooks for EEA integrated assessments.




The project will make a contribution to the Bridging the gap conference during the Slovenian EU Presidency Spring 2008


Project outputs will include:


The&#13;
	evidence base for the projects analysis will include EEA's own&#13;
	integrated assessments and outlooks, ongoing foresight studies mainly&#13;
	financed by DG research, science and policy reviews; modelling studies;&#13;
	and the result of expert consultation


Visions of the future - underpinned by an understanding of the key drivers




Analysis of policy options for key challenges




A plan of action to take forward the findings of the project involving leading stakeholders.




Project process:


Identification of mega trends in accordance with the STEEP model (Social, Technological, Environmental, Economical and Political drivers) - (Spring 2007)
Analysis and identifications of research gaps (summer-winter 2007)
Consultation (early 2008)


The&#13;
	findings of the project will make a contribution to the Bridging the&#13;
	gap conference during the Slovenian EU Presidency Spring 2008</description><dc:description>&lt;div&gt;&#13;
