Promotion of Strategic Foresight for Innovation in Education and Training in Friuli Venezia Giulia
The SFP project aims to enhance the use of strategic foresight to improve regional governance and support the achievement of cohesion policy objectives.
The initiative focuses on three main objectives:
For the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, the project focuses on the Regional Program (PR) FSE+, with particular attention to measures dedicated to education and training, in collaboration with the Central Directorate for Work, Education, Training and Family – FSE+ Managing Authority.
Support to capacity building on strategic foresight at partnership level. Management of capacity building activities targeting the group of regional stakeholders. Support for applying strategic foresight to the relevant policy instrument. Participation in international events. Support for communication, promotion, and dissemination of results.
At the end of June the capacity-building cycle on Strategic Foresight for SFP project stakeholders concluded. The programme, structured around three webinars held on 18, 23, and 25 June, engaged institutions, research bodies and social partners across Friuli Venezia Giulia in discussions on foresight practices supporting public policies at regional and European levels and beyond.
Informest was awarded at Forum PA 2026 for the SFP project, recognized for its contribution to modernizing public administration and strengthening territorial cooperation. The initiative promotes strategic foresight methodologies, enhances regional skills, and fosters collaboration networks among institutions and stakeholders, improving public services and developing effective, replicable solutions across the territories involved in the project.
