EU FP9: Bohemia Study

• The foresight exercise, called the Bohemia Study– Healthcare systems of the future will have to become more

integrated with other sectors, while citizens are put “at the centre of the decision making

– By 2030, there will be more than 40 megacities with populations exceeding ten million. Rapid urbanisation will impair mobility and increase pollution, but the roll-out of connected car technologies will help mitigate this, and the result in environmental and health concerns.

– To mitigate the effects of global warming and to reach the COP21 climate change goals, Europe should get most of its energy from the sun, revamp its energy transport systems and invest more in energy storage technologies.

– Europe may face an “escalation of high risk, low probability security events” in the future; this would see a greater emphasis on projects which engage citizens in security policy, over technological fixes.

The Future of Jobs and Skills

• New categories of jobs will emerge, partly or wholly displacing

others

• 65% of children entering primary school today will ultimately end

up working in completely new job types that don’t yet exist.
