It brings together nine EU institutions and bodies who are committed to thinking longer term about the challenges and opportunities facing Europe and, through foresight, to support policy-makers to make the right policy choices.</p><p>We live in an era of rapid and sometimes frightening change, and of growing complexity and uncertainty. Stability, prosperity and democracy are no longer a given. To meet the expectations of citizens and communities, responsible governance is necessary to help prepare better for the future, mitigate major risks and build up capabilities. This is where strategic foresight comes into its own. By mainstreaming foresight techniques and processes in policy-making, Europe can make informed choices about the future and the lives and well-being of its citizens.</p><p>Since it was established in the early 2010s, ESPAS has led the way in forging a new culture of foresight in the EU. Many EU institutions, bodies and agencies have developed their own foresight capacity for better policy-making.</p><p>Drawing on the collective talent from amongst its members, ESPAS is currently working on a number of projects including:<ul><li>A series of Foresight Papers to stimulate discussion on the future across the policy spectrum.</li><li>A horizon scanning project identifying 'weak signals' of change.</li><li>An Annual Conference to be held in November 2025, bringing together political figures and experts from around the world.</li></ul></p><p>For more information on ESPAS activities and foresight in the European Union, please contact us at <a href="ESPAS.Secretariat@europarl.europa.eu" >ESPAS.Secretariat@europarl.europa.eu</a>.</p><p class="fst-italic" style="color: #086ca6 ">Foresight is much more about shaping the future than predicting it.</p><div class="d-flex justify-content-start"><a class="btn btn-xs btn-primary d-inline-block" href="about.html" tite="Go to about page"><div class="d-flex align-items-center"><span class="me-2">More information on ESPAS</span><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="24px" viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="24px" fill="currentColor"><path d="M0 0h24v24H0V0z" fill="none"></path><path d="M12 4l-1.41 1.41L16.17 11H4v2h12.17l-5.58 5.59L12 20l8-8-8-8z"></path></svg></div></a></div></div></div></section><!--section.bg-grey.container.py-5 include include/GlobalTrends2024.html --><!-- Conf2023--><!--section.container.py-5 .col-12.col-md-6.my-3.m-md-4.float-start img.w-100(src="img/conf2023/image-conference.png" alt="image for the ESPAS 2022 conference" aria-label="image for the ESPAS 2022 conference" ) //.conflink-wrapper The 2023 ESPAS annual conference will be streamed live on this website. .conflink a( href="https://webcast.ec.europa.eu/2023-espas-annual-conference-building-europes-future-time-for-strategic-choices-2023-11-14" aria-label="go to the streaming service" target="_blank") span Join the conference img(src="img/streaming.png") .ps-0 h2.h4.mb-0.txt-elecblue.txt-bold.text-uppercase 2023 ESPAS Annual Conference h3.h4.mb-0(style='color: #086ca6 ') | "Building Europe's Future: Time for Strategic Choices." img(src='img/conf2022/efd.svg', style='width: 15rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;' alt="European foresight days") h4.mb-4.txt-darkblue.txt-condensed(style="font-style: italic") Tuesday 14 November 2023 .content.conf-content p | The strong European Strategy and Policy Analysis System | (ESPAS) was held on strong Tuesday 14 November | .

This has piled great pressure on policy makers in the European Union and globally, to react quickly to unprecedented and highly complex situations against a backdrop of great uncertainty. p strong em How can policy makers make the best decisions in such a complex and uncertain environment? p Building resilience in the face of crises, while maintaining the capacity for being strategic, requires policy makers to have at their disposal, the capacity for holistic thinking, and for looking beyond the usual horizons. p Systemic thinking and foresight, with its capacity to foster collective intelligence, strategic understanding and long-term thinking, can also be instrumental in helping policy makers to reinforce their ability to “stay the course” for the long-term. span.showhide a.btn.txt-elecblue.collapsed( data-bs-toggle="collapse" title="Show more" href='#Xintro' aria-expanded="false" aria-controls='Xintro') .collapse(id='Xintro') p This tenth anniversary strong ESPAS Annual Conference | sought to provide a strong, forward-looking perspective on key global challenges and how we can build a robust, sustainable future for the European Union. The Conference took place at a time when the phrase 'new era' seemed to be on everyone’s lips. But what does this mean? Does everybody have the same understanding of this 'new era'? The shifting tectonic plates of geopolitics demand from us a greater understanding of different global perspectives which, in turn, may enable the European Union to position itself at the heart of whatever global order emerges from today’s uncertainties. p strong Together with experts and policy makers from around the world, we explored the key challenges and opportunities which confront all of us. | How are they changing the emerging international security architecture? Are we at the core of a new “battle of ideas”? What do they mean for strengthening a resilient democracy at home and around the world? What will the twin green and digital transitions look like? What will Russia’s war on Ukraine, climate change, and environmental degradation mean for food and energy supplies? How can we build a more sustainable and fairer global economy? p This Conference provided strong a platform for fostering the emergence of new ideas | to feed a long-term vision for a strong and sustainable EU in a complex and uncertain world. Importantly, it supported the development of an international dimension for ESPAS (the strong 'ISPAS dialogue' | )* and helped to nurture new thinking and ideas for the 2024 ESPAS Global Trends
