 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The objective of the FORESEC support action is to tie together the multiple threads of existing work on the future of European security in an attempt to provide a more cogent guidance, orientation and structure to all future security related research activities. The project will enhance the shared vision and facilitate the emergence of a coherent and holistic approach to current and future threats and challenges for European security amongst the community of official and non-official constituencies involved. In particular, it will identify security responses in which there is particular added-value and shared interest to work at the European level. The project builds a pan-European network around the European security foresight processes and initiates a societal debate on European security and security research. The FORESEC support action is targeted at providing critical policy support and advice for security researchers and decision-makers with view to providing recommendations in the medium- to long-term timeframe. The support action also produces results relevant for the broader security policy community and policy makers. FORESEC uses participatory foresight methodology apt for the attainment of its objectives. The foresight process includes the following elements: scanning, with a view to exploiting relevant elements, previous pertinent work; creating and using participatory methods (an e-platform for exchange and interaction among stakeholders and experts in between face-to-face meetings, Delphi studies and focus groups where expert and non-expert opinions on a specific issue are collected and analysed); the development of descriptions of possible future crisis situations in order to anticipate and prepare for potential future scenarios; and the analysis of technological opportunities on the horizon with a view to analysing their impact for use in policy-making contexts.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

What threats will Europe face in the future? A research project has undertaken the first Europe-wide survey of security and strengthened networking of experts.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Security policies have traditionally been looked at from a national viewpoint, producing a fragmented picture across Europe. A recently completed project has brought together experts from across the EU to assess whether a shared concept of security can be developed.

Funded under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme for Research (FP7), the project 'Europe's evolving security: drivers, trends and scenarios' (Foresec) was a 'foresight' exercise to assess current and longer term threats to European security.

The first stage in the project, which began in February 2008, involved an in-depth analysis of existing work in this field. This produced 12 country reports and an overview of the global trends that influence European security.

Next a workshop was held to debate the findings with 80 experts in the security field from across Europe. The results of this then fed into a Delphi survey on key security issues held between December 2008 and February 2009. This is a structured group interaction process involving rounds of opinion collection and feedback. The results of each survey were presented to a group of and the statements used in the subsequent round.

Over 300 experts were involved in the survey. They assessed possible factors and impacts on security up to 2025, looking at economic, political, environmental, technological and societal areas.

The results of the survey were evaluated in a series of workshops in six different countries and a number of policy options were developed to prevent, mitigate and ultimately counter risks.

The project produced a detailed report of its findings and recommendations. It has also helped to create greater networking of security experts from across the EU.
