Foresight
Foresight involves preparing for long-term challenges by identifying trends, envisioning possible futures, and shaping strategies to guide decision-making.
STAR IDAZ Approach
Foresight describes a readiness to deal with long-term issues. It aims to identify long term trends and thus guide decision-making, by identifying possible - and desirable - futures, and defining strategies. Results are generally fed into public decision-making, but they also help participants themselves to develop or adjust their strategy.
STAR IDAZ looks at how global trends might impact on animal health. Priority topic foresight activities will be carried out, when requested by our partners.

Working group
No Active Working Group
For Foresight, there is currently no active Working Group. Instead, STAR IDAZ aims to conduct ad-hoc activities, at the request of the IRC Partners. STAR IDAZ also collaborates with other organisations and projects working in this area and disseminates resources to IRC Partners to support research coordination.
