Key discussions included the presentation and refinement of the ST&I foresight indicators, with a consensus to undertake their prioritization during the Training of Trainers proper. The team also explored various formats and strategies for presenting the indicators to effectively support this prioritization process. Additionally, the workshop focused on drafting technical write-ups that detail the development process of the ST&I foresight indicators for each of the 12 key operational areas of PAGTANAW 2050.
