Is it possible to predict the future? Senario training proves useful.

This rhetorical question takes on eerie dimensions in Project QUALITY’s latest publication, Future Trends for Quality of Life in Europe: Scenario Trends. The chain of events leading to the global economic crisis we are experiencing today was predicted by policy-makers, politicians, academics, journalists and other stakeholders in scenario training events that took place in each partner country early in the spring of this year. The report shows how innovative policy-makers, politicians, academics, journalist and other stakeholders can be when they are given an opportunity to focus upon and discuss important issues that affect the quality of life of citizens in their respective countries. The report is a consolidated summary of the scenario events that took place in each partner country. If you are interested in and individual country report you are welcome to download a copy from our Research Project page under Work Package 6, and an article on Scenario Training as an innovative tool for interdisciplinary collaboration maybe found in our latest Newsletter.
