Identify trends (important and predictable factors) 6. Identify key uncertainties (important and unpredictable factors) 7. Analysis of desired future states with trends and uncertainties 8. Compile results (revised future states) NOW

WP12 Next steps: WP12 Next steps “Desired Future state” stage Vision statements version 0.1 to be produced after the Madrid General Assembly. Next version of vision statements will be ready by the end of January 2006. This version will include the results from the scenario analysis, online survey, industry interviews and symposium works. Additional Virtual Communities and Fora will be set up (e.g. @CEDEFOP) to discuss the vision statements in a broad circle of participants. Presentation of vision statements in conferences and workshops. The outputs of the micro and the macro level work will be consolidated in the final version of the Vision Statements (May 2006).
