COST Foresight 2030 is an initiative designed to explore a broadly-shared vision for a future world beyond 2030 permeated and shaped by the digital revolution.
It will encompass a series of events presenting long-term perspective in the following selected fields - Computer and Communication Sciences and Technologies (CCST), Life Enhancement, Energy, Food Security, Natural Resources Management and Societal Organisation - which play fundamental roles in human life and which are envisaged to be highly influenced by CCST-enabling technologies.
"This first brainstorming workshop identified key technologies that could be available by 2030 and their benefits for society. These outcomes will feed subsequent meetings where scientific experts will address the challenges ushered in by such technologies,” explained Afonso Ferreira, COST Head of Science Operations. “We expect the proceedings and recommendations will serve as a valuable tool for policymakers, industry and researchers.”
