This workshop is organized as part of the Eye of Europe project—a Coordination and Support Action funded by the European Commission, designed to strengthen the Research & Innovation (R&I) foresight community. The event is co-hosted by UEFISCDI (The Executive Agency for Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation Funding of Romania) and AIT (the Austrian Institute of Technology).

The aim of the workshop is to co-create a shared vision for the organization and practices of Research &Innovation foresight, with the goal of inspiring both European and national R&I policymakers, as well as foresight organizations.

We expect over 30 participants, including experienced foresight practitioners, R&I policy experts, and policymakers from both European and national institutions.

The workshop will consist of group work followed by presentations, structured around the following steps:

• Developing a shared understanding of current R&I foresight practices in Europe
• Exploring drivers of change for R&I in society by 2040
• Exploring drivers of change for foresight by 2040
• Visioning the role of foresight for R&I in 2040
• Visioning R&I foresight capabilities in 2040
