'''Systems Thinking for Foresight''' is a tentative to improve the Foresight practice with the introduction of ideas from systems thinking and suggestions of ways to work with systemic models. For the champions of systems thinking, Foresight triggers and is triggered by new situations, which are not solvable decision-problems, but can be recognized in the environment from their inter-linking elements. Causal relations are less significant, leaving many relationships to depend on the behavioral pattern of an appreciator who is also part of the situation. Boundaries become a matter of debate and dialogue, as situations occur dynamically and are never solved. Appreciation is placed in close nexus with anticipation and learning; this relationship is considered fundamental for the capacity to develop coherent narratives about the future. <br>

Consequently, new ideas were introduced into the practice of Foresight. Ozcan Saritas proposed the concept of Systemic Foresight, not as a vision-building methodology, but rather as a set of principles that allow better understanding of complex systems, create a future system and transform the existing one. Riel Miller defined Futures Literacy as the capacity to question the assumptions used to make decisions today and to explore the possibilities of the world around us through rigorous imagining.

The Reporting Wiki is a web-based, collaborative project developed and supported by the Executive Agency for Higher Education, Research, Development & Innovation Funding from Romania. As the name indicates, a wiki technology for developing collaborative websites is being used, allowing registered members to work together and develop texts that are to be included in evaluation reports. The Reporting Wiki employs an open editing model where every text may be created or edited by any registered user, and changes to an existing text become instantly available without review.

The Reporting Wiki allows for transparency during the evaluation process. Non-members who are stakeholders of university evaluation (university managers, academics, students) may observe the report as it is developed. Consequently, the may send feed-back to actors involved in evaluation, thus influencing the way in which an evaluation report is being developed. The reporting process moves away from the linear evolution, becoming a backward-forward motion gradually integrating knowledge.
