foresight latviski lietojam - forsaits
Ir daudz paveikts forsaita izpētes un pielietošanas jomā Latvijā 2003.-2007.g. Speciālistu darbā ir pieņemts lietot latviešu vārdu forsaits, jo bez tā iztikt nav iespējams. Pastāv Eiropas forsaita telpa, tiek realizēti starptautiskie un nacionālie forsaita projekti, notiek forsaita zināšanu apguve Latvijas universitātēs.
Valodnieki, kas nav forsaita speciālisti, protams, var domāt pēc saviem ieskatiem. Sk. par LZA Terminoloģijas komisijas sēdi. http://termini.lza.lv/article.php?id=222
Vārdus un jēdzienus mēs izvēlamies savam darbam XXI gs. zināšanu sabiedrībā.
Pastāv inovācijas un jauninājumi, pastāv forsaits pasaulē un Latvijā.

Methods for foresight project/exercise
Let' s imagine what methods we need in order to execute a foresight project or exercise -
and firstly
A foresight could be in / for a ministry, S&T council, government institution, department, sector of industry, business company, R&D, a field of knowledge, policies, learning and education objectives, etc.
A foresight project or exercise can be 'open foresight', including different kinds of stakeholders, consumers, customers, public and non-governmental sector, etc., looking for innovative solutions and addressing (possible, preferable) futures in inter- and transdisciplinary research and activities, knowledge work.
and firstly
- to think about, debate, find, identify, invent, choose a theme/topic for the foresight (a client makes decision)

Futures for regions, the toolkit available
About the project, a link http://www.futurreg.net/project.html
"FUTURREG is designed to have significant long-term impacts for regional development policies, especially by ensuring that policies - and regional development organisations - are informed by high-quality futures tools and participatory processes, including Environmental Scanning, Trend Analysis, Scenarios, Visionary Management and Delphi.
The FUTURREG inter-regional value comes from bringing the knowledge and proven successes of the partners together - to produce a regional futures toolkit that can also be applied in other EU regions. The project will not construct a new set of tools but will bring together the approaches used successfully by the partners within their regions in one toolkit."
