Europe's evolving security: drivers, trends and scenarios

Objective

The objective of the FORESEC support action is to tie together the multiple threads of existing work on the future of European security in an attempt to provide a more cogent guidance, orientation and structure to all future security related research activities. The project will enhance the shared vision and facilitate the emergence of a coherent and holistic approach to current and future threats and challenges for European security amongst the community of official and non-official constituencies involved. In particular, it will identify security responses in which there is particular added-value and shared interest to work at the European level. The project builds a pan-European network around the European security foresight processes and initiates a societal debate on European security and security research. The FORESEC support action is targeted at providing critical policy support and advice for security researchers and decision-makers with view to providing recommendations in the medium- to long-term timeframe. The support action also produces results relevant for the broader security policy community and policy makers. FORESEC uses participatory foresight methodology apt for the attainment of its objectives. The foresight process includes the following elements: scanning, with a view to exploiting relevant elements, previous pertinent work; creating and using participatory methods (an e-platform for exchange and interaction among stakeholders and experts in between face-to-face meetings, Delphi studies and focus groups where expert and non-expert opinions on a specific issue are collected and analysed); the development of descriptions of possible future crisis situations in order to anticipate and prepare for potential future scenarios; and the analysis of technological opportunities on the horizon with a view to analysing their impact for use in policy-making contexts.
