ForeSight

Completed panels 1994-1999

A brief introduction

The UK Foresight Programme was launched in 1994 following a major review of government science, engineering and technology policy, and the publication of the 1993 White Paper "Realising our Potential". The purpose of the programme was to: develop visions of the future; build bridges between business, science and government and increase national wealth and quality of life. Sixteen Sector Panels were at the heart of the programme, they brought together representatives from business, the science base, the voluntary sector and government to consider the future and make recommendations for action. Following widespread consultation involving some 10,000 people, in 1995 the first set of visions and recommendations for action were published, followed by four years of development and implementation. The Foresight Steering Group also produced an over-arching report. The final reports of these Panels are all available for download from the relevant area of this site.
