General ranking based on survey resultsThe research sample consisted of 346respondents; rather evenly representing: Working population (academics: 21%,business representatives: 24%) andStudyingcommunity(universitystudents: 55%).8

Implications of the survey resultsfor beFORE e-learning programme developmentIn a view emerging from the results of the survey, that is: The relatively low level of ‘Foresight awareness’ and Similar competence choices across the different target groups,it seems reasonable to the project consortium to offer a basic course andaccompanying, advanced thematic courses, which could be of interest toany of the target groups’ representatives. Both basic, and advanced coursescould fall into the four module framework:Module 1Module 2Module 3Module 4An overview of thefield and bringingin the perspectiveof personal futuresRationale behindforesight, areas ofits application,outcomes, impactsand risksMethods / Toolsneeded to workwith the abstractideas of futures /uncertaintyCommunicating theresults to variousaudiences andstimulating agency12
