Abstract
A number of international organizations, national and regional governments as well as leading corporations have used Foresight to monitor trends, uncertainties, weak signals and wild cards; explore alternative futures under complexity and uncertainty; build future visions; identify key scientific and technological areas; develop new products and services; and recommend policies and strategies. Through seminars, students will be provided with practical experience in designing Foresight and Strategic Planning processes for public and private organizations. Applications and cases of Foresight will be presented with examples from different levels of governance with international, national, regional as well as industrial, sectoral and corporate focus. Overall, the students will understand how Foresight approaches, processes and methods are integrated into policy making and strategy development processes, and will gain capabilities to apply these in their professional practice.
