This manual presents a comprehensive foresight methodology tailor-made to Frontex’s needs and specificities. It provides Frontex with the practical knowledge required to conduct Technology Foresight (TF) studies in key technological fields and research areas. In Frontex, TF is understood as a research-driven process specifically designed for the technological assessment and identification of key future technologies for a particular subject. Unlike forecasting, TF focuses on assessing the current state of technology and identifying a wide range of plausible future consequences of technological development. Results are presented as linked to scenarios for the future.
