• Aim
• Bring together on a systematic and extended
  basis, actors and insights in national foresight
  exercises on IST in the enlarged Europe
• Three main objectives
• Compare results of national foresight exercises
• Provide a new forum for consensus building on
  future visions for IST
• Contribute to constructing the European Research
  Area through benchmarking and community building,
  by providing a dynamic pan European platform on
  foresight on ISTs
• FISTERA is expected to
• Reduce duplication of efforts and increase mutual
  learning and sharing of results
• Help development of a more coherent structuring
  of the Foresight research community in ISTs,
  within the context of ERA under FP6 and in
  preparation of FP7
