Course "Technology Foresight for Practitioners 2007 - A Specialized Course on Scenarios"

An international course "Technology Foresight for Practitioners" was organized for the fifth time in Prague, in the conference room of Technology Centre AS CR. The course did run from 5 to 11 November 2007 (Monday – Thursday). The course, which was held in cooperation with UNIDO, was focused on scenarios this year. Within the 4-day course, foresight was introduced as a tool for policy-making with a special emphasis on the role of scenarios, followed by a lecture on scenarios as a method. Theory was completed with presentation of case studies to clarify the practical application of scenarios and last but not least, participants will develop their own scenarios in a practical workshop. The course was, in the same manner as in the preceding years, supported by a grant from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic.
