1 An Executive Vice-President for Future Generations would: Integrate and embed intergenerational, long-view thinking in the policy cycle to build towards a positive future in line with EU values and goals Governance and new ways of working: Formalise the integration of the assessment of long-term impacts into the impact assessment process within the policy cycle. [...] Deepen and normalise the use of existing strategic foresight work and methodologies of the Commission into the policy cycle so that it feeds into the annual work plan and budget, including learning from future models and scenarios for better long-term decision-making. [...] Whilst the RSB sits outside of the remit of Commissioners, defining this and supporting the institutionalisation of this could be an early task of the Commissioner’s team. [...] Review and monitor progress towards the EU’s vision of the future of Europe in collaboration with citizens Build bridges between the European institutions and the public by maintaining regular dialogue for envisioning a Europe fit for the future. [...] Build on the outcomes and learning of the Conference on the Future of Europe to establish more meaningful mechanisms for citizens to participate in the long-term vision of the EU.
