One of SCAR’s main activities is horizon scanning through foresight studies. A working group of SCAR, the ‘Foresight Group’, proposes such activity to the plenary and, after approval, governs the execution of relevant studies. The Commission has made available resources through the Framework Programmes to help contract experts, to carry out the foresight activity (which may include review of other ongoing studies, scenario building, research prioritisation, etc.), to organize meetings (workshops, seminars, conferences) and to publicize outcomes.
