 '''Hi! Welcome to the Foresight Wiki!'''  My name is Dan Grosu. I am one of the founding fathers of the Foresight Wiki, for which I have developed the Concept, System Requirements, Policies & Guidelines, and initial content. And now I am a member of the FORwiki Community. I am also sitting in the Committee for Arbitration, together with Philine Warnke, and Ozcan Saritas.





Foresight Exercises
Most of my practical work in Foresight was done during the National Foresight Exercise for the R&D Sector from Romania. Employed as Senior Expert (Expert 1A in the Romanian taxonomy of professions) my responsibilities were to develop the methodology of the foresight exercise, and to be the raporteur of the expert group that translated the outputs of the foresight exercise into public policy.

Rapid Bucharest FC
I've been a fan of Rapid Bucharest Football Club since I was five. You might say it is silly. In my defense, the British ambassador to Romania, Mr. Robin Barnett, has also become a fan of our club (while still a long time supporter of Manchester United).

How do you feel about a foresight exercise entitled "The Future of Football in Europe"?
