Mission and goals

Vision

Galatine builds a picture of the environment based on observation, explains the connections, assesses probabilities, finds the points of uncertainty and draws up options for action.

Five tasks

• AwarenessUnderstand what has changed and what consequences it may have.
• WarningNotice weak signals before they become an obvious crisis.
• PerspectiveStudy the long-term forks: technologies, institutions, scenarios.
• Coordination of knowledgeConnect internal analysis with outside experts and check the conclusions.
• Translation into actionFormulate options for a decision, communication options and observable indicators.

   • The first forum
   • The second wave of research programmes
3. LaterInstitutionalisationBecome a stable distributed system of strategic awareness.
   • The full catalogue of services
   • All six research programmes
   • An independent expert assessment of the methodology
   • A regular forum

Public formats

The formats launch stage by stage, following the roadmap.
