In this logic, a third option to emphasise the possibility for fundamentally different futures, and thus encourage‘outside the box'thinking could be that universities disappear

Foresight methods and activities approve the uncertainty linked to the different futures and take also the different pathways to the possible futures.

opportunities and strengths of the different futures are identified and ways how to cope and/or exploit these potentials are identified.

but to construct several different futures and paths leading to them. Although all the scenarios were against current trends,

but to construct several different futures and paths leading to them. One specific type of scenarios is backcasting.

4. Scenarios are focused descriptions of fundamentally different futures presented in a coherent script-like or narrative fashion.
