There, he gave a presentation on the work carried out during the course of the project, the results achieved, and the next steps to be taken so that the discipline of strategic foresight becomes an integral part of the capabilities of the Public Service.

The Assistant Director of the Division led a discussion on long-term planning in a political democracy, while the Senior Manager from the Ministry for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation led another discussion on the establishment of a Unit dedicated to Strategic Foresight.

The conference was chaired by OECD officials.
