Stakeholders
Government Foresight Projects work closely with UK Government Departments and a range of national and international organisations.
High Level Stakeholder Group (HLSG)
The High Level Stakeholder Group comprises of senior scientists, policy makers and experts who advise on the strategic direction of the Project. They also work with Foresight to ensure that the Project is based on cutting-edge evidence, and that its analysis is of the highest technical and scientific standard. Finally, the Group are involved in the Project’s action planning, once the Project is launched, to identify and catalyse actions that should result from the Project.
