Call for evidence for the EU’s Strategic Foresight Report 2026

The Commission would like your views to guide its Strategic Foresight Report 2026. The report asks: How can the European Union shape its long-term role in a rapidly changing and uncertain world?

The Commission seeks evidence-informed input on this and two other specific questions:

• Which areas of leverage (especially those that are new or so far unexploited) could help the EU shape its long-term role in the world?
• Which narratives about the European Union can help the EU shape its long-term global role?

This call for evidence targets national and regional policymakers, businesses, industrial actors, science-for-policy advisory bodies, think tanks, learned societies and scientific associations, academic organisations and researchers. These groups are invited to submit relevant published (and pre-published) scientific research, analyses and data by 22 January 2026.
