  7. The recent publication of the Handbook of Knowledge Society Foresight adds a powerful guidance for foresight exercises in Europe.The establishment of the Foresight Unit has been emphasised in the book as one of subjects serving as a possible repository of knowledge and agent for training and advice. It may organise small-scale foresight exercises and provide training activities for particular sets of users. The Unit can support network activities, organise meetings of stakeholders, "to maintain Foresight activities in a given community" in the long run. (37) A.Puga.

(37)  The paper, included in this collection of articles on Latvia's future, provides insight into activities performed by the Forward Studies Unit (38)  affiliated to the Latvian Union of Scientists. In February 2003, the Board of the LUS adopted the programme proposal of its members to establish the Forward Studies Unit, to start futures studies and foresight activities and to become involved in European research. Since its beginning, the Forward Studies Unit, LUS has been, in fact, a community of practice conducting studies, publications, and dissemination of information free of charge. http://www.geocities.com/forwardstudies/projects3/foresight.html A.Puga.

  25. Reflection on interrelated trends and issues (we are within their intersection)can help to guide decision making related to the entrepreneurial mindset development, innovative learning and entrepreneurial actions to manage knowledge

  26. Knowledge is a fluid mix of framed expertise, values, contextual information and expert insight that provides a framework for evaluating and incorporating new experiences and information. It originates from and is applied in the minds of knowers. In organisations it often becomes embedded not only in documents or repositories but also in organisational routines, processes, practices and norms.

  28. On a such foundation as EFB, developing KSF outputs, activities and targets, we create the new virtual entity process of interaction between individuals, organizations, enterprises; opportunities to develop communities of practice; innovative application of the Basics framework for thinking, knowledge (tacit and explicit) sharing, knowledge fusion and management aiming at possible futures for policies and strategies at all levels.
