Objectives:
- To better understand which (national) policies have been implemented in relation to Foresighting to improve direct a/o indirect health impacts – also relating to COVID-19
- To identify good and bad practices - which good practices in Europe can we highlight? Which gaps can we pinpoint?
Structure and agenda:
After a keynote introduction to the topic and a brief showcase of PHIRI Foresighting activities, there will be a moderated roundtable debate among decision-makers and addressees of forecasting from five European countries.
Agenda:

- Keynote (name tba)
- Overview of PHIRI Foresighting activities (Henk Hilderink, Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, RIVM)
- Roundtable discussion with policy-makers (see discussants below)
Questions for discussion:
- For which questions is Forecasting a suitable instrument?
- Did any public health related foresight study recently take place in your country? If yes, what was the focus?
- During the COVID-19 pandemic, were any Foresight Studies conducted to help in the implementation of measures?
- What kind of information would you like from Foresight? Or broader: What type of information do policy makers need to implement measures and set policy?
- Think of Foresighting or scenario building processes in your country – what went well and what should be avoided in the future?
- What are the necessary frameworks/settings to ensure that Foresighting is accepted well by policymakers?
- Who has a mandate to do it “officially”?
- What is the translation method that policymakers understand best and accept the most?
- How we can ensure that priorities derived from Foresighting are sustainable over time?
- Process related questions (e.g., whom to involve, timelines, qualitative or quantitative approaches, how important is the role of indicators/data?)
