#ESPAS19 concluding session is on the future of #ESPAS itself. Speakers reiterate need for structural #EU approach that allows cross-silo, forward-looking anticipatory governance & #foresight. No space for self-censorship, but need to develop an appetite for shaping the future.

We're back at #ESPAS19 day 2, where our very own @rainermnz is speaking on the 'Future of Aging' panel. A double-edged sword: most of us welcome longer life expectancies for ourselves but are concerned about the pressures on welfare state that follow from ageing societies.

.@AnnMettler calls for the creation of a ‘European Policy Design Board’ that on the very beginning of the Policy discussion, analyses global trends, Europe’s role in the world and offers strategic #foresight to the #EU decision-makers. #ESPAS19

Good #foresight is about challenging orthodoxies. @BishtPupul, a young Futurist from India, explains how #DecolonizingFutures initiative re-articulates hegemonic ideas through #storytelling, a tool for inclusion of marginalised voices in futures work.

Even better #foresight requires to build new, diverse narratives about the future. But futures for all cannot be imagined by a select few. @BishtPupul's powerful questions: who imagines the future & who gets to tell it?

#Foresight cannot shut its eyes from undesirable developments. That’s why our last #ESPAS19 panel of the day is called ‘Eyes Wide Open: Democracy, Free Societies and Their Enemies.'

How can we put foresight at the heart of #EU policymaking? Whom better to address this question than @MarosSefcovic, Vice-President-designate on #foresight at @EU_Commission. His #ESPAS19 keynote is an exemplary exercise in horizon scanning & strategic, geopolitical thinking.

Will continue to ensure that #EU policies are evidence-based and future-oriented. New, joint-up #foresight network of Member States' foresight/strategic planning units & #ESPAS could add a lot of valuable insights to that effort.

#EU needs to reflect more on potential risks and lock-in effects when dealing with new technologies, warns @MareikeOhlberg. But #5G risk assessment and other developments show that policymakers are increasingly aware, leaving her more optimistic than before.
