The EFMN or European Foresight Monitoring Network monitors ongoing and emerging foresight activities and disseminates information about these activities to a network of policy researchers, foresight practitioners. It supports the work of policy professionals at regional and national level.

The EFMN is part of the European Foresight Knowledge Sharing Platform. It monitors and maps Foresight activities all over the world. By April 2006 the EFMN had already identified and mapped more than 1000 foresight initiatives in countries as varied as the EU member states, Japan, China and Korea, the US, Canada and Brazil.

The EFMN publishes approximately 40 briefs a year on topics of interest to Foresight practitioners and policy professionals. An overview of the available briefs can be downloaded here. More information on the EFMN and its activities can be obtained by downloading its annual reports.
