About the blog objectives

The Network (EFN) idea comes from knowledge sharing with European friends and colleagues in the EU conference "FORESIGHT FOR INNOVATION - THINKING AND DEBATING THE FUTURE; SHAPING AND ALIGNING POLICIES" (Dublin, June 14-15, 2004) and from research on LATVIA TOWARDS KNOWLEDGE SOCIETIES OF EUROPE: NEW OPTIONS FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND EMPLOYMENT ACHIEVING THE GOALS OF THE LISBON STRATEGY (Forward Studies Unit (Riga), Foresight project,2003-
http://uk.geocities.com/arturspuga/EFN/augsa.html).

We understand EFN in the making as
1) a net of interaction between individuals, organizations, enterprises;
2) a useful conceptual framework for knowledge (tacit and explicit) fusion, targeting, management aiming at possible futures for policies and strategies.

It is about the entrepreneurship ( in broader sense) mindset and activities for economic, social and environmental renewal in the Enlarged Europe. EFN could be a think-do community for the Lisbon strategy to implement the commitment 2000 - 2010.

Everybody is invited to join us. Thinking, debating, knowledge sharing and creating the future together.

Presently, EFN blog languages are English and Latvian.
