Text and pictorial narratives of the Future – to be briefed by Dstl staff the day after this workshop to an international cohort of Early Career Scientists as an input to a defence and security ‘game’ aimed at highlighting common shortfalls in capability planning and hence the importance of Futures thinking in Government
