RIVM has a longstanding tradition in (strategic) foresight with the PHFS. RIVM regularly produces comprehensive Public Health Foresight Studies (PHFS). These studies provide insight into the most important societal challenges for public health and health care in the Netherlands. There is a growing interest in foresight, fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic to increase preparedness. RIVM strengthens its foresight expertise and applies it to different topics. This is an essential element in RIVM’s independent role as trusted advisor for the government, both on the local, national and European level.
