An independent think tank at the Riigikogu High-level scenario building in Estonia
The Head of the Foresight Centre Tea Danilov addressed the international seminar “Towards bridging science and decision-making”.
Danilov sees scenarios as an excellent way of shaping policies because the future is not pre-determined and the scenarios help to envision possible developments and their impact on Estonia. The scenarios help us to see the future in a less black-and-white way, point out possible development avenues and options, and analyse their pros and cons.
The scenarios developed through the Foresight Centre studies offer policy shapers information on possible risks, and prepare them to consider ways to ground the risks as early as possible.
