This manual presents a comprehensive foresight methodology tailor-made to Frontex’s needs and specificities. It provides Frontex with the practical knowledge required to conduct Technology Foresight (TF) studies in key technological fields and research areas. In Frontex, TF is understood as a research-driven process specifically designed for the technological assessment and identification of key future technologies for a particular subject. Unlike forecasting, TF focuses on assessing the current state of technology and identifying a wide range of plausible future consequences of technological development. Results are presented as linked to scenarios for the future.

The objective of the RVS is to provide a list of recommended vaccinations as a prevention measure for particular communicable diseases, specifically designed for the individual and community protection of personnel assigned to Frontex coordinated operational activities. A secondary objective of the survey was to raise awareness on both the need of considering vaccinations as a useful tool to improve the OSH of all personnel deployed by Frontex via national partner authorities, and on the importance of recommendations/procedures for such personnel.
