e-Skills Foresight Scenarios for Europe

• Foresight Scenario Drivers
• Impact of each Driver needs to be established on
• Supply Demand (separately) of each type of
  e-Skill
• plus comparative attractiveness of off-shoring
• Assessments needed for medium term (2010) and
  long term (2015)
• Better split probably the world our measurements
  can tell us something about (2010), and the
  world we cant measure yet (beyond 2010)
