The hearing contributes to our opinion on the European Commission’s 2025 Strategic Foresight Report (SFR) on Resilience 2.0 (Rapporteur: Philip VON BROCKDORFF) and provides input towards the 2026 SFR, which will focus on the future of the European Union in a changing world. With this hearing, we aimed to build common understanding around a new basis for multilateral cooperation for the EU and how foresight can contribute to increase resilience and preparedness.
